   neutral   Don't you feel a little strange taking the place of your old boss after he was demoted?     neutral   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...  
    neutral   Did they mutiny?     neutral   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.  
    neutral   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.     neutral   
 You know what? Maybe this will be an advantage. People are going leave behind our department anyway,
 Yeah, but how will those guys ever forgive me! They were all such close friends...
