carol went down to her car and sat for a while , staring at the garage wall.that whole managers meeting had been orchestrated just as she had thought.the main reason she had been demoted was that she hadnt learned to be like them.spears needed people like the other managers.the kind who would plan and conspire , neatly working together to pull off whatever plan he needed implemented.despicable people.carol backed out of the garage and prayed that it would be a very slow and uneventful day .
