Line 3:
* '''Straight''': Alice gets a promotion and immediately begins treating Bob and Carol like dirt.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice gets a promotion and immediately begins treating Bob and Carol like slaves, expecting them to carry her around on a throne and whipping them when they step out of line.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice gets a promotion and becomes kind of a [[Jerkass|jerk]], but otherwise still the same.
* '''Justified''': Alice has never had any authority or power over anyone else before, and has gotten a little over-excited with it.
* '''Inverted''':
Line 16:
** Alice's promotion results in her developing a [[A God Am I|God complex]].
** It turns out that "throwing your weight around" is actually in her new job description and she apologizes for it.
* '''Deconstructed''': Alice's behaviour gradually isolates everyone she cared about and who cared about her, leaving her with nothing but her career success to validate her life. She soon discovers that it's [[Lonely Atat the Top]] and that she is miserable and alone, a failure despite her success.
* '''Reconstructed''': Her success brings her a lot of money and power, and that's all she really cares about, so she's happy enough.
* '''Averted''': Alice gets a promotion. Things continue much as they always have.
