Surya Chakarvarti was a busy woman, and that came with an attitude. Some people hated how bitchy and direct she was, but overall her presence was welcomed thanks to her take-no-prisoners attitude. After all, the company was finally turning around, especially since Surya had made her changes. Included in that was the morale-boosting dismissal of the deadweight (which included some formerly untouchable employees), which had since become a meme in the office. If some people thought her rise was meteoric and happened seemingly overnight, well, they weren't exactly wrong.
Greg, an employee at the firm for several years, was tired of being passed over for promotion. He knew his stuff well but management always found ways to screw him over; whether it be a friend of his boss or a relative of his boss being given comfy roles they weren't qualified for, he was consigned to being an afterthought. Everything culminated with the announcement that his boss would be reassigned (i.e. being given a large, undeserved bonus in a different department), and Greg saw the writing on the wall. So, fed up with a lack of career advancement, he quit and told his colleagues he'd be moving elsewhere for a job. What they didn't know was that he'd invented a new persona and applied for his boss's old position. Picking an Indian quasi-MILF suit was meant to add some gravitas to the persona, which in the interview paid off handsomely; with that look to go with the resume, HR had to hire "her". It sucked that he couldn't be getting all the credit by himself, but at least his skills were being put to good use. And he did look pretty incredible while doing so!
