Why Am I Suddenly the Face of the Company?

So, picture this: our company is rumored to be getting sold, and everyone’s whispering about it, but leadership hasn’t said a word. Out of nowhere, my department head decides I should represent us at a big conference. Me—a remote worker who’s never met a client, doesn’t even have business cards, and would rather blend into the wallpaper than network. When I asked why, all I got was, “There are reasons we think you’d be a good choice.” Super reassuring, right? I can’t help but wonder if I’m being set up as a decoy, or maybe they just want someone who won’t spill secrets. Either way, I’m heading into this conference with more questions than answers. Wish me luck—I’ll need it! 😅 #WorkplaceMystery #CareerGrowth #OfficePolitics #JobCareer
