Being Forced Out of a Position


Julianna: Ha ha! The wicked witch is dead! 


Hugo: What are you talking about? 


Julianna: Bettina is stepping down as chairperson of the committee. I thought this day would never come. 


Hugo: That’s a big surprise. I never thought I’d live to see the day when Bettina would willingly give up her position. 


Julianna: It wasn’t her choice exactly. The rest of the committee forced her out, saying they couldn’t work with her anymore. Oh how the mighty 1 have fallen! 


Hugo: But I thought she had the support of the higher- ups and they wanted her in the position. 


Julianna: Well, she’s somehow fallen from grace and they can’t wait to see the back of her. It’s nice to see her get her comeuppance – finally! 


Hugo: Maybe we’re not getting the full story. Maybe she had personal reasons for leaving. 


Julianna: Whatever the reason, we’ll be rid of her once and for all. Hallelujah! 


Hugo: How do you know the next chairperson won’t be worse? 


Julianna: Bite your tongue!
