Definition
A reduction in rank, status, or job level, usually as a punishment for poor performance.
Etymology
From Latin 'demotio,' combining 'de-' (down) and 'motio' (motion, movement), literally meaning downward movement. Modern usage developed in 20th-century business contexts.
Kelly Says
Research on demotion shows it's psychologically harder on employees than a lateral move or even modest pay cut—being moved down the hierarchy damages self-esteem more than financial loss alone!
