Getting Kicked Upstairs

Un undeserved "promotion" given to a mediocre manager for the sole purpose of removing them from an important position. Often involves getting moved to a new or largely inconsequential role with little responsibility. Commonly given to well-connected white men who cannot be fired without some sort of consequence.

Boss: We want you to take over for Chad as regional sales director. We are moving him up to serve as Senior Director of Product Awareness.

Employee: Great! But what is that position. Will I still report to Chad?

Boss: Hell no. He's getting kicked upstairs so we can give you the role. I'm not even sure what he will be doing. We kind of made it up so he would stop fucking up important things. But we can't just fire the senator's nephew.

upstate new york

Noun. A place that isn't NYC and isn't downstate wigger-town. Filled with Hicks and half-witted douchebags who'd rather ride their "sleds" than have a nice chat about theories or do a crossword puzzle.

Me : *Pant, Pant, Pant*
Bro : "Hey, What happened?"
Me : "I said something bad about their tractors and *sleds* and all the sudden they started chasing me."
Bro : "Well, what do you exect, we're in Hicktown, UPSTATE NEW YORK."

upstate new york

A place that wishes it was New York City. People from Upstate often get offended when people refer to New York City simply as "New York" because it makes them feel left out.

Everything north of New York's suburbs is Upstate New York. UPSTATE IS NOT 'EVERYTHING NORTH OF ALBANY' b/c New York is the capital of the world and nobody cares about upstate, face it already!!!
