All (Are Not) Welcome
I will get this promotion or something better,” I whisper as I walk down the
gleaming, glass-walled hall of All Welcome, the lifestyle brand I have been
working for since I was a college intern twelve years ago. Allison, our CEO—
and, well, my hero—is big on the phrase. She claims she has used it to manifest
her massive success over the last thirteen years, when she started this brand as a
recent college grad. Who am I to doubt her? If I’m going to manifest something,
now seems like a good time to start.
Casey, one of our interns, winks at me as she passes me in the hallway and
crosses her fingers. Her encouragement boosts me as my stomach rolls with the
reminder that Jonathan, the head of HR and my ex, is going to be in this
meeting about my “future with All Welcome” too. We broke up about a month
ago, after eighteen months of dating, but I still haven’t told my family. I can
almost hear my mother’s voice in my head: I don’t like to interfere, but, darling,
the man still works for his ex-wife’s company. And you work for him. It is unsavory
at best, a recipe for disaster at worst.
Despite my mother’s concerns, I had always felt proud that Jonathan—who
was not my superior when we started dating, I might add—Allison, and I have
always been able to work together so seamlessly. Allison and Jonathan used to
say it was because their relationship was ancient history. And now, so was ours.
Because after we moved in together six months ago, Jonathan and I realized that
the single thing we had in common was work. Now the three of us are back to
being just coworkers. Coworkers with weird personal histories, to be sure, but
just coworkers all the same.
I walk to the end of the hall to the smallest conference room. It is the only
one that has solid, soundproof walls instead of glass, so it’s the most private.
And it’s where most promotion meetings take place.
Allison is already there, as I assumed she would be. Punctuality is one of her
core values. The others, as I well know, are transparency, honesty, innovation,
and excellence. She is a motivational speaker who gets paid in the high five digits
each time she flies off to inspire companies and their employees to reach their full
potential.
She has a huge conference—All-Fest—each year that literally fills an
arena, a line of journals and goal-setting notebooks, and has penned four New
York Times bestsellers. We even decided to publish her last book in-house. We
were nervous, but it went so well that we’re publishing a handful of other
meaningful titles this year by other authors in the space.
