ABSTRACT
Eric’s voice was shaky as he retold the story to Amanda, his mentor. He told her about the meeting two days ago with his boss, who informed him about the change in the project. About how Paul was going to be leading it. Paul, the kiss-up, who spent more time schmoozing with the managers than doing his job. Paul, whom Eric had to bail out on numerous occasions. Eric’s boss said that the request for Paul came from the director and that he couldn’t change his mind. Eric’s boss still wanted him on the project because he knows Eric will bail Paul out when the project runs into troubles. Not “if”; “when.” How could they give the project to Paul?!
