#Secondment

A secondment is a corporate ritual that magically shifts the burden of one’s failures onto another company. Ostensibly a career development opportunity, it is in fact the exile of displaced talent to a foreign cubicle. The secondee returns armed with a new business card and even newer ambiguities, yet no promotion or gratitude follows. HR hails it as 'experience,' while the employee quietly chants 'I am wanted here' under a freezing fluorescent light. Upon repatriation, their ordeal is often overlooked, as if they never existed at all.
