Сотрудница, которую планировали уволить, была назначена главой отдела кадров после вмешательства гендиректора

Sometimes, a power move to get the better of someone may backfire. Taking to X, a user named Meg revealed how an HR official who tried to lay her off in a dismissive manner quickly learned a lesson. Meg calmly asked her to call the CEO before she left. When the HR official mocked her if she intended to beg for her job, she replied that the CEO needed to know why the woman he personally hired was being sacked. The CEO was notified that a termination was in progress by the HR representative. The CEO requested to know who was being fired before she could give more information. The talk apparently stopped for a while after Meg's name was brought up. The CEO then requested a direct conversation with Meg. Meg answered the phone and said hello to him. With a sigh, the CEO replied that he was personally visiting and told her not to leave the workplace. About 20 minutes later, the CEO arrived at the HR department. He noticed the termination document lying on the desk and immediately questioned who had approved the decision. The HR executive directed the responsibility toward her manager. However, the CEO appeared surprised. He explained that the situation was particularly unusual because he had personally approved Meg’s promotion just the previous day. The HR official was reportedly stunned. The CEO then turned his attention to Meg and congratulated her, explaining that she was no longer going to remain in her previous role. Instead, effective immediately, he appointed her as the company’s new head of HR. The HR executive who had attempted to remove Meg from the organization was left with little to say. She quietly gathered her belongings and left the office. The incident serves as a reminder that workplace power dynamics are not always as straightforward as they appear. Someone who seems vulnerable during a difficult situation may have the support of influential decision-makers behind the scenes. Acting hastily or disrespectfully can therefore have consequences, particularly when decisions are made without understanding the complete picture.
