#Person1#: Don't you feel a little strange taking the place of your old boss after he was demoted?
#Person2#: Yes, at first I felt very awkward. After Bill was demoted and then resigned, it was kind of like somebody died! I mean the atmosphere in the office was like a funeral parlor or something. And then I was afraid people would look at me as a traitor for filling in his spot when the management asked me to. . .
#Person1#: Did they mutiny?
#Person2#: Thankful, no. I guess everyone understands the opportunity I had to step into a leadership role is so great for my career. I'm really moving up the ladder now that I'm considered a supervisor. After a couple weeks, it was like nothing happened.
#Person1#: It is a really good chance for you to get more exposure at work. supervisors get to take the credit for all the hard work of the people under them.
#Person2#: Yeah, and they also take the blame, that's what happened to my old boss. . .
#Person2# tells #Person1# #Person2# felt awkward when taking the place of the old boss after he was demoted. But now everything is fine and people consider #Person2# as a supervisor.
