I think the various HR people really should come up with something other than the ol' "...and we feel that you are overqualified for this position..." line. Does this mean the following scenario would happen a couple of months down the road:
"We've noticed that your competence has far exceeded that of your peers, due to your overqualifications. Morale is at an all-time high, and customers are actually praising your customer service skills. We don't want happy customers, and we certainly don't need happy employees here. This company is all about the bottom line, and if potential clients and investors begin to think everyone is happy, they may start to assume that we're goofing off, and the recent rise in productivity could be tripled if our employees were miserable. Everybody knows that a grumpy employee works harder because they fear losing their job.
"If we had any kind of initiative and creativity, we would move you into an area to challenge your skills, but innovation and creativity are looked down upon in this company, and our only choice seems to be to let you go..."
Yeah...I don't think so. But sometimes I do wonder...
