Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

A new hire scouted to the elite team after only a month on the job. Sounds like the title of some self-help book designed to get attention. But this is actually happening for real.

'What is even going on here?'

Me, in A-squad?

"Let's see. Soleum-ssi, you joined D-squad last month, right?"

"Yes. Let's get in touch with HR and handle it as a temporary assignment, then make it official in five months."

"Right. Then, Assistant Manager Jin..."

A-squad's leader turned to me with a satisfied smile.

"For starters, Soleum-ssi should be promoted to supervisor right away."

"..."

"The official announcement should be out by next week."

Oh, my god.

"This company may not care much about seniority, but there's still a minimum requirement, you know. This is insanely fast-tracked."
