I Closed Every Deal,Then They Made Me Report to the Intern

The company was restructuring, and our department had two precious promotion slots.

I was a P4 top performer who'd held the number-one spot on the leaderboard for years. I figured this time, it was finally my turn.

Then the announcement dropped. Narelle Bennett, a P1 newcomer who'd barely cleared her probation period, had been fast-tracked straight to P4 leadership.

And me? Not only did I not get promoted—I got demoted to P3. Apparently, the extra level they'd gifted Narelle had to come out of someone's hide. Mine.
