“No I started in an entry-level job on the Finance team But my first boss said I was overqualified, so he—”

“Why?” And if that’s true, as she hired in the first place?

“I have a double degree in econo a job one step up from clerical”

Holy cow Maybe the better question is, why did she take that job? I’ their worth before being rewarded, but even then she probably hada business than anization And Bruce Rawson allowed HR to hire her before shuttling her into a dark corner of his company like a dirty little secret?

Then again, maybe that’s exactly how theinterim CEO proves that not everyone is expected to work their way up in the company

“That’s impressive,” I praise

And it is She has an, she’s probably in her mid-twenties

“Thank you When I first joined Reservoir, I spent nine er on one of the Finance teams Then Smith, the VP over Technical Solutions, hired ain, e of ain So here I am”

“Thanks for the perspective”

“Well, it’s only enough for you to know I’m not the firm’s mover and shaker I can introduce you to those who are”

Either she’s being modest or someone—Shane? Bruce himself?—has convinced her she’s not important Because they want her contained but not seen? If that’s the case, why does she stay?

Whatever I need to focus on stopping Reservoir fro Wynaet the most recent annual report once it’s done?”

“Yes Perez is over Finance, as you can see He would be best, but he’s had some unfilled positions in key spots for a while I know HR is working on that, but with the holidays and Bruce Rawson’s absence, I’m afraid positions have been filled more slowly than usual”

Even if Perez has vacancies on his teaet things done Should I chalk up the inaction to laziness or rebellion? I doubt Bruce would have suffered slackers, but because Shane doesn’t care,his bureaucratic resistance to their new leader?

“Understood What kind of new products and services are you working on now?”
