What term would I use to describe the act of “jumping” over a person’s position who has held office longer or in a higher position than oneself.
e.g: Being promoted to become the boss that my current boss reports to.
Basically I get the opportunity to move up the rank that my own boss (who has held his post longer than myself) would have been up for, hence skipping him as he now reports to me not the other way around.
I hope that made sense.
