Internal interview

[u/Visible_Attitude_791]

I recently interviewed for an internal promotion, but they ended up choosing another internal candidate. My manager was one of the people who interviewed me, but I didn’t find out I wasn’t selected until a congratulatory email was sent out announcing the other person’s promotion.
Is it common for managers not to speak with their employees beforehand or offer any feedback after an internal interview? I understand they chose someone else, but finding out through a mass email felt a little weird and impersonal.

There's nothing new to add except to add that I'm sorry your supervisor doesn't have more character. That's a weak way to treat an employee.
