Chapter 9

作者: Perfect Timing
Everyone agreed in unison.

Then, all of a sudden, someone finally realized that something was amiss.

"Speaking of money, the five-million-dollar commission should be deposited into our accounts by now. The commission and the compensation we're due to receive is quite a substantial amount of money. We should be able to use it to get by even if we're dismissed by the company."

"You're right!" someone else exclaimed. "We're supposed to receive our paycheck today."

In an instant, everyone's attention shifted over to the commission—even Veronica was eagerly checking her phone too.

A few moments later, my colleagues began to frown.

"What's going on? I already received my pay, but there's no sign of the commission anywhere," someone said.

As she stared at her phone in a perplexed manner, Veronica declared, "I'll call the Finance Department and ask about it. Maybe the payment has been delayed."

"Hurry up and get to it then!"

  • Generosity Cost Me My Job   Chapter 10

    When I repeated my colleagues' sarcastic remarks back at them, they became entirely dumbfounded. They were at a complete loss for words. Then, one of them finally realized the truth. "Actually…" my colleague, Natasha, said in a small voice. "I think this is actually Michael's fault."She continued, "He badmouthed Zane during the voting process and convinced us to vote him out of the team. Now that I'm thinking about it, Zane hasn't done any of the things Michael accused him of doing. Michael was the one who made everything up.""She has a point.""You need to take responsibility for everything that happened, Michael. You must compensate us for our losses."With just a few passing comments, everyone was now blaming Michael for what happened. Michael was shocked. He'd never thought that the same people he rallied against me would wind up betraying him instead. The outcome was genuinely satisfying to witness.…Due to how skilled I was, I managed to find a new job two days aft

    Everyone in the office agreed with Michael and proceeded to look toward Charlie for an answer. In response to this, Charlie awkwardly looked toward me instead.Upon seeing this, Michael immediately lunged at me and pointed his finger at my face. "I knew you had something to do with this," he barked. "What kind of dirty trick did you pull? Since you're unemployed, are you trying to make us lose our jobs too?""It took me a great deal of effort to land this job, and I work extremely hard at it every single day. How could you treat me this way?" Veronica sobbed.I found Veronica's words laughable. She'd show up late to work and proceed to leave before her shift ended every single day. On top of that, she would also take naps in the office during the day. If I hadn't witnessed all of that for myself, I might've actually bought her sob story. Come to think of it, all of my colleagues from the Project Department were essentially cut from the same cloth. I handled almost 80% of our dep

    "What?" Michael exclaimed as he stared at Charlie in disbelief. "Are you serious, Mr. Truman? Surely you're joking?"The sudden turn of events shocked the rest of the department as well. "Have you made a mistake, Mr. Truman?" one of my colleagues asked. "Isn't Zane the one who's getting fired today?"Upon hearing this, Michael recomposed himself and swiftly patted his chest. "Right? Mr. Truman must've made a mistake," he added. "Only one of us is getting laid off before the year ends. Why would the company just fire me out of nowhere?"Charlie glanced at the cold sweat on Michael's forehead and replied, "I'm not joking. You're fired, Michael. In fact, you're not the only one who's getting fired."Subsequently, Charlie glanced at the group and declared solemnly, "Due to the resignation of our key technical staff member, Zane Carter, the company has decided to terminate all ongoing projects after conducting an assessment. So…"After a huge sigh, he continued, "Headquarters has d

    Before I could walk away, Charlie hastily blocked my way before raising yet another finger."Triple! I'll triple your salary!" he yelled."That won't be necessary," I replied firmly.Charlie was determined to change my mind. Upon seeing how adamant I was, he switched up his approach and tried to guilt-trip me into staying instead. "You shouldn't behave in such a reckless manner. Even if you don't care about me, you should at least think about the rest of your colleagues. They might've wronged you, but it was nothing personal. They were just trying to protect their livelihoods."It's incredibly difficult to find a suitable job in times like these. Some of your older colleagues are already in their 50s. What do you expect them to do if they get laid off at such an old age?" he asked.I scoffed inwardly. None of them seemed concerned about my future when they voted to have me laid off. What if I had a family to support as well? Since that was the case, I had no obligation to care a

    Unfortunately for my colleagues, things didn't go the way they'd wanted it to.All of a sudden, our supervisor, Charlie Truman, entered the room."Come with me, Zane," he said solemnly.I nodded in response. Behind me, Michael and the rest instantly burst into laughter. "I was wondering why he was still lingering around the office. I didn't know he was waiting for Mr. Truman to usher him out of the building." "I would just get out of here if I were him. Being told to leave is so embarrassing…"Little did they know, Charlie was anxiously waiting in his office while they made fun of me outside. The minute I entered his office, he walked up to me in an appeasing manner and said, "Here—please take a seat, Zane."Charlie had never been this polite and respectful toward me before. After he invited me to take a seat, he even took it upon himself to pour me a glass of water. "Mr. Smith told me everything, Zane. Surprisingly, a few of our newer clients immediately stopped contactin
