I'm more Star Wars than Star Trek but I get it Evan. Good one btw.
I experienced this at least twice in my career. The first time, when my boss was let go, I was deemed too young..."I can't give this position to a 26-yr old" said the CFO, whom my boss reported to. I left a year later and things worked out great for me.
The second time, many years later, we had been acquired and my boss (original owner) was let go (he still wanted to act like an owner instead of understanding he now was employed).
This time I got it.
His responsibilities were split into two and I was made Director of Operations.
Through working with a lot of the new parent company teams, from engineering to finance, I was already doing and fulfilling that job.
The director of finance said to the new owner one time "if you want to know how things work in that group ask Ramon".
I didn't know it at the time but I had been doing what you recommend in this article.
Hope this helps someone out there.
Help your boss, and if they can't help themselves, do the job yourself.
