transcript

FTE #1: It's just a secondment. Why do you keep calling it a transfer?

FTE #2: Because after 12 months it will be completely impossible for someone you once were to return to a role that once was.

FTE #1: Well, the someone I am now just wants to punch you.

Caption: People change. Roles change. The idea that they don't remains an annoying constant.
