This was it – the culmination of years of hard work. Her replacement, a fresh-faced graduate named David, would be shadowing her for the next two weeks. She couldn't wait to share her expertise and see him thrive. She bounced slightly in her chair, a feeling of lightness bubbling in her chest.

She envisioned David mastering the processes, becoming another cog in the well-oiled machine.
