My Boss Fined Me, So I Stopped Caring의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

He still would not let up."Jason, you’ve been with the company for years. You should know the rules by now, right?"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a job these days? I’m only docking your pay because we go way back. If you were anyone else, I would’ve told you to pack your things and get out!"We’re both men. You think I don’t know how long it’s normal to spend in the bathroom?"I could not help laughing.I had spent five years at this company giving it everything I had, and I had focused only on closing deals and bringing in business.My performance had always spoken for itself, and plenty of companies had offered to pay my contract buyout to poach me. However, I had stayed out of loyalty to this place and the people here. I had never considered leaving.Even with only five days left on my contract, I had planned to renew it.Still, there was no need to do so anymore.My boss threw that insulting pay stub at me without a hint of remorse."Think carefully. Are yo

"I’ve always been reasonable. You know that."After I said that, I suddenly felt a lot better.…There was silence on the other end of the phone, as if he were bracing himself for a storm.While I waited, I checked the messages in the work‑group chat.It turned out that the deal had fallen through without me there to handle it.The company took a huge loss, and the boss personally called Mr. Lawrence and tore him apart.Just because I stopped dealing with all the random extra tasks they kept dumping on me, everyone else’s workload had skyrocketed. They were not used to it, and their productivity dropped sharply.Before long, the entire office descended into chaos.It was only when they were completely overwhelmed did they finally start calling me.However, I had already turned on Do Not Disturb after work, so I did not receive a single call.As for Mr. Lawrence, he remained silent.After a long while, he finally forced the words through clenched teeth."Fine, I got it. Jam

I put on an innocent expression and remained silent.However, Logan started panicking. He even looked a little angry."Uncle William, I prepared this entire project myself. James has nothing to do with it. You can’t let him take credit for my work. You promised you’d give me this opportunity. I still need this to become a full‑time employee. You promised my father."His face twisted with frustration.Mr. Lawrence immediately walked over to him. For the first time, I saw panic flash across his face. I even noticed his trembling hands."What do you mean? You were the one in charge of this bid? Don’t you know your own capabilities? How dare you take on something this important?"With that, he grabbed me and pulled me over, and his voice turned harsh."James, are you blind? Can’t you tell which side is your company? If you’re so desperate to stand with that other company, then go work for them."Now isn’t the time to talk about you. We’ll settle everything once we’re back at the of

The moment I finished reading the article, I laughed. I thought they were only trying to exploit their employees. I never imagined they would go so far as to destroy me.Public opinion could crush a person.However, I was not going to let a single article break me.I followed my usual routine, got ready, and headed to work.The truth would always be the truth. No matter how they investigated, I was innocent.Besides, Logan had already given me written proof.While I was on my way to work, my family group chat suddenly exploded.I never expected the news to reach them.Just as I expected, all those relatives who were usually silent suddenly found their voices. Their backs stopped hurting, their legs stopped aching, and somehow everyone had time to pick up their phones and type.A few of them were especially active.Aunt Hannah was the first to mock me.[James, our family has always been honest and clean for generations. If this is true, you should turn yourself in immediately

"Why shouldn’t I look for a better company now that my contract has ended? I have every right to choose where I want to work next. Sorry, but I signed an employment contract, not a contract selling my soul."As for the third accusation," I paused for a moment, "I’d like everyone to take a look at this evidence. These documents prove that I did nothing wrong during work hours."The first was a written statement from Logan. It had his signature and fingerprint, making it an official, properly documented statement.The second was my entire work chat history from the moment the project began.It clearly showed that I had never been involved in, or even had access to, any information related to the deal.Mr. Lawrence immediately pointed at me. "You held such a high position in the company! You’re telling me you couldn’t have gotten your hands on those documents?"That only gave me more to say."Let’s be clear. I worked there for five years and brought in more than a hundred million d
