LOGINAt the end of the year, the company made employees vote on who would be laid off. In front of the boss, the slips in the box were opened one by one. Natalie Reed. One vote. Natalie. Two votes. Natalie... thirty votes. All thirty people on my team had voted me out. I clenched my fists and looked around at my coworkers. Every single one of them avoided my eyes. Maggie Turner was the oldest on the team. I knew she had to pick up her child, so whenever she could not finish her work and had to rush home, I stayed behind and cleaned up after her. Dylan joined last year. He was losing sleep every night over money for his wedding. I squeezed time out of my own schedule, helped him complete his project, and got him a two-hundred-thousand-dollar bonus. And the trainee closest to me started trembling the moment I looked at her. She looked just as timid as she had when her hands shook and spilled wine all over a client. Back then, to fix the mess for her, I apologized to the client and drank until I had a stomach hemorrhage. Only then did she pass probation. I could not help feeling hurt. The boss looked at the result and asked if I had anything to say. I took a deep breath and asked everyone on the team, “Why did you vote for me?” My timid trainee suddenly found her courage. “Because you always pretend to help people, then steal our credit.” “Otherwise, how could someone as useless as you become the top salesperson?” I laughed, took off my employee badge, and placed it on the table. A week later, my boss was kneeling outside my door, begging me, the so-called useless one, to come back to the company.

I promised I would teach you properly and help you grow.”“So why did you stab me in the back?”Chloe’s eyes darted away. She stammered, “I... I knew you would have better options.“Even if you left the company, you would still do well.”She knelt in front of me, looking painfully sincere.But just four days ago, she had been spreading rumors everywhere, trying to destroy me completely. Just yesterday, she had said today would be the day my career ended.Evil would never change.I looked coldly at the boss.“I won’t forgive either of them.”The two of them still wanted to struggle.But seeing how firm I was, the boss did not hesitate. He fired them on the spot.Sabrina panicked and reminded him, “Natalie may not be able to save the company, but I really am carrying your child.”But to the boss, he could always have another child.Whether I could save the company or not, I was the only person he
The boss cried as he begged me to come back and save the company.“Natalie, you built this company with your own hands. I know you care deeply about it.”“The company is really about to collapse. Please, save it just this once.”Many employees also said the company could not survive without me.I looked coldly at the boss kneeling on the ground.“Someone in the company spread sexual rumors about me. I definitely can’t work in the same company as that person.”Before the boss could speak, Maggie hurriedly said, “Natalie, I know what kind of person you are.“Even if there were some misunderstandings between us before, I would never spread that kind of rumor about you. But I heard it myself. Sabrina and Chloe were the ones who incited people to slander you.“They bought all that fake material online.”The other coworkers also knew about my conflict with Sabrina and Chloe, so they quickly echoed her.They wanted to dump all the blame on those two.Chloe panicked instantly and cursed the co
After one employee said it, the others quickly chimed in.“Exactly. She’s always the fastest thinker, and she knows all our partners.”“If she steps in, she can at least keep things stable for a while.”From the assistant, I learned that the boss at my former company was hesitating, trying to decide whether to contact me.Afraid they would start pestering me, I immediately took the chance to clarify the rumors Shoreline Sales had spread about me.The evidence was more than enough to prove that my former company had maliciously framed me.While they were already in crisis, I moved fast and sent another court summons to my former company, adding more fuel to the fire.After seeing my evidence and my attitude, people online rushed to the company’s official account and cursed out the boss.[What a rotten company. They deserve every bit of this.][Leaving aside how much she did for your company while she was there, did you really have to destroy her after she left?][A boss who can’t stand
I pretended to be surprised.“If I remember correctly, that project was signed and launched after I had already left.“Leaving aside the fact that it has nothing to do with me.”“Even if there had been a problem with the proposal I wrote while I was still employed, did none of you test it again? Did no one find the issue with the formula and correct it?“If that’s the case, Shoreline Sales was far too careless with the project.”“Now that such a major problem has happened, you’re trying to pin it on a former employee.“I have to say, your company has no class.”After I finished, some of the reporters and bystanders heard everything and could not help speaking up for me.“Now that something’s gone wrong, they’re blaming an employee who already left. If nothing had gone wrong, would they have paid her the bonus?“Of course they wouldn’t pay the bonus, but they sure want to dump the blame on her.”“With Vantage Group watching them closely, Shoreline Group won’t be able to shift responsibi
