[QUOTE="leatherneckjacket, post: 965289, member: 3849"] My personal story is not so much a demotion, but the results were equivalent. I was Director of Continuous Improvement for a large Fleet Maintenance Organization. As part of my efforts, I developed a costing model that could predict the labor, parts, and operational costs to maintain the 150K trucks in the fleet with greater than 99% accuracy. One month I was off by less than $5K on a $27M spend. Yes, my model was that good. I always shared my model with the Finance Manager for the organization who not only was a good friend of mine but also needed the model to accurately predict OpEx costs for his presentations to leadership. Well, wouldn't you know that he got credit for my model and they promoted him three levels to be the new SVP of Finance and Engineering. Not only that, they made him my boss. I was nonplussed. At our first meeting, five minutes after it was announced that he was promoted to the new position and that me and my team now reported into him, he told me he wanted me to explain to him in great detail every activity that my team was working on and that I had to report results back to him on a weekly basis going forward. I told him to eff off. A month later I was fired. [/QUOTE]
