Taking a new job can also destroy a career:

- Kicked Upstairs: a character is deliberately promoted to a high-ranking but unimportant role, in order to remove them from their current, more important role.
- Promoted to Scapegoat: a character is deliberately promoted to a seemingly important role, in order to use them as The Scapegoat.
