the.com/demotion
the corporate fall with a softer landing and a much worse business card.
means The act of moving someone to a lower rank, grade, or position, usually within a job or organization.
from Built from the prefix 'de-' (down, from Latin) bolted onto 'motion' (movement, from Latin 'motio,' from 'movere,' to move). So literally a 'moving down' — the inverse of 'promotion,' which used 'pro-' (forward, ahead) to push you up. The two words are mirror twins, born of the same Latin verb, sent in opposite directions.
