Unwanted Promotion

Imagine, for a moment, three coworkers huddled around one of their cubicle.

They were just invited to a meeting. Two of them are going to get a raise and promotion. The third won't.

Imagine, for a moment, the three people each trying to come up with the best reasons they can why they should be the one to not get promoted.

I don't have to imagine it. I was one of the three people party to the discussion.
