I asked
John for advice on leveraging my event planning skills and downtime to help our team plan a successful conference. Our
boss subsequently scolded me, for according to John "trying to go over her head." Now my
boss refuses to talk to me and relies on him for everything. I hear that he’s now in the running to get that promotion instead of me – what a fucking douchecrat!
