Is this a Simpsons line repurposed for Voyager?
Wiggum: That's some good work, Lou. You'll make sergeant for this.
Lou: Uh, I already am sergeant, Chief.
Wiggum: Perhaps you are, but I say Bob goes back to jail.
Bob: [stammering] But surely--I mean, I. Caught. Cecil.
Wiggum: Maybe so, but Lou here says you were resisting arrest.
Lou: No I didn't Chief.
Wiggum: Quiet Lou! Or I will bust you down to Sergeant so fast it'll make your head spin!

The format is based on Joseph Hellar's book Catch 22. I don't remember the exact details, but one of the main characters is constantly being threatened with demotion and promotion in this manner.
Damn that was a fun episode
