Too little, too late

There is some stuff going on here at the office. My boss, who in the past has been known to speak to me only when he needed something, had a blowout with his assistant, who is leaving the department. She is actively trying to convince me to join her.

Is it coincidence that I am now getting public recognition for some advances I have made for the company? Praise that I should have gotten in April?

Ahhh, I'm such a cynic.
