In The Devil Wears Prada, Stanley Tucci, who plays Nigel, has a line that probably hit a nerve with a lot of working women all over the world. He said, "Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. Means it's time for a promotion." As funny as this may seem at first, it’s actually not too far from the truth.

Most of the time, things are made much more complicated by personal relationships.
