This will show up on his review as “leadership training received.”
Oil painting style. Young employee in a white dress shirt, soaked through, holding an umbrella over an older executive in a dark suit who has not looked over once. The exec’s hands are in his pockets. The kid is drenched, hunched, wearing a messenger bag taking on water, extending his arm at the exact angle required to keep his boss’s lapels dry. This arrangement predates the org chart. The painting style just admits how old it is. Nobody in HR will call this what it is. The annual review will list “supportive team presence” and “adapts well under pressure.” The umbrella is the whole economy in one prop.
