Eight Years of Corporate Slavery, Rewarded with a Broom Chapter 9
Three months ago, we were handed brooms and humiliated in front of everyone at the annual company gala. Three months later, we had taken firm root at the new company. Our salaries had doubled, and we were even earning extra on the side. Back at our old company, the audit had flopped, and clients were lining up to terminate contracts.Rodrigo's team had all abandoned ship. Suppliers hiked their prices and shortened payment terms, leaving a mountain of chaos behind.Rumor had it that George and Bill were now bickering in the office every day, each trying to pin the blame on the other.The finance department was a mess. Someone had reported the company for issuing fake invoices, shady related-party transactions, and misappropriating assets. The tax authorities had opened an investigation, and the report was thorough, with every date, amount, and procedure meticulously noted.I had no idea who made the report, but the backup files I kept had surfaced at precisely the right moment.G

Renold held up his phone. "Zach, your old boss just sent you a WhatsApp."I took it and read through the message. "Mr. Young, could you do us a favor? The company urgently needs someone with your skills. We can negotiate a good salary."I smiled and handed the phone back. "I'm not replying."Back when he gave us brooms as a token for our hard work, did he ever picture this outcome?The next day, George sent another message. "Zachary, we've worked together for eight years. Are you really going to abandon us?"I ignored it. On the third day, he started calling nonstop, and I hung up on each one.As I headed home that evening, I saw a familiar figure crouched at the apartment door. It was George.He spotted me and rushed over. "Zachary! Why aren't you picking up? I've been waiting for three hours!"I raised an eyebrow. "Mr. White, how do you even know where I live?"George waved a hand. "Your address is in your employee file."I frowned. "That counts as trespassing."George pan

Rodrigo frowned. "Who's the new head of administration?"I smiled. "It's you, Mr. Hudson."Similar conversations happened every day. Rodrigo's team was completely overwhelmed by endless procedures, permissions, and rules. Their pride in "international experience" was useless against these trivial issues.Things got worse when the suppliers started causing problems. Long-time partners immediately shifted their attitudes once they realized the contact person had changed."I'm sorry, we only deal with Mr. Young. If he's replaced, we need a new contract.""What about the payment terms we agreed on? Those need to be renegotiated too.""The quotation has to be redone since the basis of our cooperation has changed."Rodrigo stormed off to George to vent his frustration. A short while later, George summoned me. "Zachary! Why aren't the suppliers cooperating?"I shrugged. "Mr. White, I really don't know. Perhaps they're simply more familiar with me."George said curtly, "Let them know

I froze. How did he know about Redex?Rodrigo smiled but said nothing. He left with his team.Caleb's face turned pale. "Zach, how did he—"I gritted my teeth. "We've been played. I don't know if Redex leaked it or if Mr. White has had his eye on us all along."Renold looked like he was about to cry. "We can't go to Redex, and the non-compete is holding us back. We're trapped on both sides!"Julius pounded the wall in frustration. "That test is designed to fail us! Education? I only have a technical diploma! Languages? I can't even speak properly! They're setting us up to quit!"I stayed silent for a moment. "He wants an assessment? Fine. We'll take it."Julius glared at me. "What? Zach, that assessment is a joke!"I looked him in the eye. "Exactly, it's a joke. Mr. White wants us to quit on our own, but we're not going to."Julius hesitated. "But…"I lowered my voice. "Listen up. This non-compete isn't as ironclad as they think. First, the company must pay us monthly after w

George cleared his throat. "The company has decided to upgrade and reform the administrative system and establish a new administrative department. This is Rodrigo Hudson, my nephew. He just graduated from Westbridge School of Business, and from now on, he will be fully in charge of the department."A murmur spread across the meeting room. Rodrigo smiled politely and nodded to everyone. "Hello, everyone. I'm looking forward to working with you."George continued, "Former colleagues from the administration department can apply for the new positions. Those who pass the assessment will stay. Those who don't…"He glanced at me. "The company will provide compensation according to the N+1 standard. Of course, you can also choose to take the compensation and leave immediately."Julius muttered a curse under his breath beside me. Renold went pale.George shifted his tone. "However, considering we have an important client audit next month, I hope everyone will cooperate to complete the ha

My voice was rough, and my eyes were filled with a fierce resolve born of desperation.Caleb looked up. "Zach, do you remember Mr. Derrick Jones from Redex Group? He called me last week. Redex is expanding, and their administrative team is short-staffed. He asked if I'd be interested."I asked, "What did you say?"Caleb gave a wry smile. "I didn't commit. I said I'd think about it. If I'd known it would come to this, I should've just said yes."I said, "It's not too late. Call and find out how many people they can bring on board."Caleb frowned. "Wait, you mean all of us together?"I nodded. "Worth a try. If it doesn't pan out, we'll deal with it afterward."Caleb immediately pulled out his phone. "I'll call right now."Julius' eyes lit up. "Zach, Redex Group is one of the top companies in the industry. If we can get in…"I cut him off. "Don't get excited yet. This has to stay secret. Before we officially resign, the company can't know our plans."Julius asked, "Why not?"I
