Fired by AI, Hired by Karma Chapter 9
Suddenly, I heard a faint noise coming from the living room.I stayed perfectly still in bed, slowed my breathing, and listened carefully.It was the sound of shoes stepping across the hardwood floor. Someone was walking through my living room slowly and carefully.Someone had broken into my home.The first face that came to mind was Florin's.I was certain it was him.I just didn't know how he had gotten inside.The moonlight coming through the window let me see the knife in his hand.In that instant, my mind became crystal clear.Holding the knife, he slowly walked toward my side of the bed."Florin."The moment I spoke, he froze.He clearly hadn't expected me to be awake.He stood at the foot of the bed, gripping the knife.I slowly sat up.His hand was trembling.In a hoarse voice, he said, "You ruined me. You ruined my company, my marriage, and my life."He took one step closer. "Do you know where I live now? A tiny basement room. No windows. Mold all over the walls. Do you know w

Her face turned pale.I looked at her. "Mary, you came to my house with a recorder and expect me to believe you're here to apologize?""I didn't..."I laughed coldly. "What? Do you think turning 35 suddenly made me too stupid to notice?"I took a step back and started closing the door.She suddenly raised her voice. Her eyes were red with tears. "Ms. Lyttle, the company is really about to collapse! Mr. Vassell canceled his contract and is demanding compensation. Other clients are leaving too. If the system isn't restored soon, the whole company is finished, and so am I. I just graduated with my master's degree. This is my first job. How am I supposed to put on my résumé that my first company went bankrupt after I worked there for only three months? Who would ever hire me after that?"I let out a quiet sigh. "If your next employer asks why you only stayed three months, then tell them the truth. Tell them you replaced all the experienced employees with AI, the system crashed, and the com

Less than an hour after I posted it, a different kind of voice started appearing in the comments."Florin is an idiot.""People like Mary are parasites in the tech industry.""I support Ms. Lyttle. Fight for your rights."The post quickly passed 100,000 views.A well-known tech content creator shared my post and wrote. "This industry is far too cruel to programmers over 35."The next day, Florin published an official statement on the company's website."First, the company has never terminated any employee because of age. Taylor Lyttle left for personal reasons."Second, after an internal investigation, the recent system failure was confirmed to have been caused by malicious code left behind by former employee Taylor Lyttle. The company has preserved all evidence and will pursue legal action."Third, the AI system has been operating normally and has never attempted to hide any problems. The screenshots circulating online are either fake or taken out of context."I couldn't help laughing

Florin exploded in anger. "Taylor, so now the company is in trouble and you still refuse to help?""You called me a blocker. You said I slowed the company down. You said I should be grateful I even got paid for six years."My voice rose as I finally snapped, pushed past my limit."And now, when the company is in danger, you suddenly remember me? You suddenly remember how many times I saved you? You suddenly remember I was important? Mr. Stretton, after firing me so coldly, you still expect me to come back and save you? If the AI can't fix it, then that's your problem."I hung up.The next day, I received a message from Florin. "We have hired a law firm. You are suspected of violating criminal computer system sabotage laws. The maximum sentence is seven years in prison. If you come back and fix the system now, we may drop the charges."My code wasn't a virus. It was normal functional code. I wrote it five years ago. It passed all code reviews and had been running in production for five

Florin sounded completely panicked. "Ms. Lyttle, every system has failed! Every order total has been changed to zero. The amount fields in the database were overwritten in bulk. Millions of orders are now showing a value of zero!"I answered calmly, "Oh, really?"Florin froze for a moment. He clearly hadn't expected me to stay this calm.He probably thought I would gasp in shock and start asking questions like I always had before. Every time the system failed, I'd immediately ask what caused it, how widespread the damage was, and then tell him to give me 20 minutes to fix it.Instead, I added, "Don't you have an AI that has completely mastered all my skills? The one that's 30% more efficient, has a 50% lower error rate, and works around the clock without a break? Why are you calling me?"The background on his end was complete chaos."The database crashed again!""Mr. Vassell has called five times already!""The AI says everything is normal!"Florin's voice had turned hoarse. "The AI fi

Florin was thrilled."Starting today, our efficiency is going to skyrocket! Our AI employee is officially online. Let's all give it a warm welcome!"The office filled with applause.I sneered to myself, picked up my box of belongings, and walked away."Wait! Ms. Lyttle, please step out for a moment."Just as the elevator doors were about to close, security guard Cole Wollacott stuck his arm between them."What is it?" I asked with a frown.Another security guard explained, "Mr. Stretton instructed us to make one final check before you leave. We need to make sure you aren't taking anything that belongs to the company."I tightened my grip on the edge of the box."I already completed the handoff. Every piece of company property has been accounted for."Mary squeezed between the two guards. "That's only on the surface. How do we know you didn't secretly take something?"Florin walked over behind her and gave the order. "Search her."Taking a deep breath, I stepped out of the elevator, set
