The company’s performance soared, and while countless employees got big raises, I was demoted and had my pay cut.
The reason they gave was that I had refused to work overtime for a long time and was unable to do my job.
I went to the boss to protest, but he said the company was expanding and optimizing its staff, and that I wasn’t suited to be a manager.
What they didn’t know was that I was the one who had used my connections to bring in the company’s business partners, and I had also designed its core source code.
On top of that, the office building the company rented belonged to my wife’s family.
I couldn’t stomach the insult, so I quit. The rent at the company’s address then skyrocketed, forcing it to relocate.
And every server we’d developed crashed. Nobody knew how to fix them.
The boss called and begged me to come back, offering to make me president. I blocked him instead.
