"Promotion Pending" - Paperback

by Meenakshi Shashank Patwa (Author)

Arjun Sharma has done everything right. He works harder than everyone else, stays late without complaint, answers weekend calls, and sacrifices more of himself with every passing year-all for the promotion he believes will finally make it worthwhile.

Alongside him are Sameer, a charismatic high-performer who knows how to play the corporate game, and Neha, whose empathy survives in a workplace that rewards exhaustion more than humanity. As promotions, appraisals, office politics, and endless targets begin to shape their lives, the three friends discover that success often demands a price nobody mentions in orientation meetings.

Set inside the glass walls of a modern corporate office, Promotion Pending is a poignant and deeply relatable story about ambition, burnout, friendship, identity, and the quiet cost of becoming professionally successful. Because sometimes the biggest promotion isn't the one printed on a business card-it's learning who you are when work no longer defines you.
