Nothing is funnier than being unhappy in your job and struggling to support a family on a low salary, right? Well, apparently not if you’ve seen the trailer for the upcoming movie “The Promotion,” starring John C. Reilly and Sean William Scott (aka Stiffler from “American Pie”). In this film, two average Joes fight for one coveted position: Manager of a brand spankin’ new supermarket.

Donaldson’s grocery store may not be the most glamorous place to work, but we here at SnagAJob.com commend these characters’ determination to climb that job ladder to the top. However, we don’t suggest spraying mace in a customer’s eyes or handing out awards to employees for “cutting the cheese.” While it’s hilarious on screen, that may get you fired rather than promoted in real life.

So climb on, and maybe one day you’ll be in the position to battle for a similar promotion. And if you’ve already made the leap from wearing a name tag on your shirt to hanging a name plate on your office door, we want to hear about it. Inspire others by clicking the “Add a Comment” button below and share your promotion story.
