Mercury Retrograde December 2017

1
I recently applied for a job directly before the Merc RX station. I met with the hiring leader around the 28th of November and applied around the 30th. Everything happened during that one week. Just recently I found out he had reached out for reviews to my own leaders, who promptly disqualified me for the role telling me it is too challenging. Not only that, but then telling me he does not believe I am qualified for any higher level work and need to make changes in order to develop. So, I then asked him what about the fact that I'd fallen in the role of teaching and training his entire team? And was passed along for promotion for the role of the person I am reporting to, whom I am also training? Hmmm....

My question is, will anything reverse after Mercury goes direct? Any thoughts on how this will go?
