Beth had worked at our company for 11 years, training nearly everyone and always being the person coworkers relied on.
When a team-lead position opened, everyone expected Beth to get it, but our boss chose Marcus, who had been there just 14 months and whom Beth had trained.
After being told she “lacked the assertiveness” needed for the role, Beth returned to work without complaint and even helped Marcus prepare for his first team-lead meeting.
Sometimes the people who deserve recognition most are overlooked because their kindness, dedication, and support make everything they do look effortless.
