It’s a pretty disconcerting feeling.
You show up for work one day only to discover that you’re one rung further down the corporate ladder than you were the day before.
And you didn’t even get demoted.
You’ve been layered! And it can be pretty awkward – and deflating.
For example, you were only two layers down from the CEO. She hires a new VP and suddenly you’re three layers down. Or your boss, someone you love working with, hires a new person and inserts him between you and him.
