Jack Gets Passed Over

While climbing the corporate ladder, Jill zoomed right by Jack. He got madder than a wet hen. Then, fit to be tied, so determined to soothe his hurt pride, he told lies on her. “Cheater!” he cried. Everyone knew the unvarnished truth: Jack was dishonest, mean, and uncouth! Only ONE paid Jack any attention~~ his employer. I feel I must mention Jack got kicked to the curb with no pension! As for Jill, she has earned the respect she is shown. All know she won’t neglect any duty, and her employees know she cares about them. Each, she sees as a team member she’s glad to please.
