Corporate Math: Negative Commission

Corporate Math: Negative Commission

After half a month of nonstop overtime, I secured a contract worth over ten million, pulling the company back from the brink of collapse. My boss, Richard Gray, was overjoyed. At the celebration party, he called me the pillar of the company and announced that he would reward me with a bonus. However, when the end of the month came, and I opened my payslip, I froze. Negative 250 dollars. A negative commission? I actually owed the company 250 dollars? I immediately called the finance department, asking if there was a mistake on my payslip. They replied, "No mistake. This is the cost calculation formula that Mr. Gray personally instructed us to use. He said you'd understand once you saw it." I went straight to Richard for an explanation. He laughed. "The contract that you signed, after factoring in the concessions, upfront resources, and hidden expenses, left the company with a net loss of 150 thousand. Since the loss was due to your personal decisions, you're responsible for five percent. That totals to 7500. "Considering how hard you worked, we deducted it from your base salary first. But your salary wasn't enough, so you still owe the company 250. Don't worry. The company treats its employees well. We'll write that off." Soon after, he awarded 100 thousand dollars to the newly arrived intern. I watched the newcomer, probably connected to Richard, cheerfully treat the entire company to dinner with her bonus, and something inside me just snapped. From that day onward, I did the bare minimum. I clocked in. I clocked out. Nothing more. Later, when a critical project went catastrophically wrong and the company faced a colossal compensation demand, Richard came begging me to fix it. I just smiled and said, "Sorry, Mr. Gray. I've already resigned. If there are any problems, you can ask the intern who got the 100 thousand dollar bonus to handle it."

Eight Years of Corporate Slavery, Rewarded with a Broom

At the award-giving ceremony of the end-of-the-year gala, my boss, George White, suddenly announces that he will be adding a bonus round on a whim. "This is the annual department evaluation! The department that comes last shall come onto the stage and receive a tiny encouragement from me!" The huge screen lights up at that moment. The sales achievements accumulated by all departments are being shown in a ranking system. The sales department is ranked first. The operations department comes second, and the marketing department gets third place. As for the administrative department, the sales achievements shown on the screen are none. After all, that department has no KPI to achieve at all. George beams at us from the administrative department. "Everyone from the administrative department, come on up and receive your prize!" Two people can be seen carrying a basket of brooms up the stage. Everyone bursts into laughter instantly. "Come now, sweep away your bad luck with the brooms! Try not to come up as the bottom-ranked department again next year!" George personally thrusts the brooms into our hands. Camera flashes go off beneath the stage—people are clearly taking photos of us. The people from the sales department are the ones laughing the hardest. "Finally, the peeps from the administrative department are getting the recognition they deserve!"

Cephalosporin and Alcohol on New Year's Eve

During the New Year's Eve dinner, my pineapple juice was secretly swapped for alcohol. But I had taken cephalosporin earlier on. The doctors used a lot of effort to save me, but my wife, Jennifer Robinson, shielded the person who was responsible behind her. "This matter ends here. Be generous and forgive him. He didn't do it on purpose." I didn't plan on letting this man off so easily. He had an ambiguous relationship with my wife. But Jennifer interrupted me with a frown. "That's enough! He's only a fresh graduate. What's the point of making a fuss? Do you have to ruin the rest of his life to feel satisfied?" I looked at how my wife was protecting him and my heart sank. "Then you two can spend the rest of your lives together."

Après ma renaissance, j'ai laissé ma meilleure amie emporter le sperme

Après ma renaissance, j'ai laissé ma meilleure amie emporter le sperme

Ma meilleure amie, qui insistait pour ne pas se marier, a enlevé le sperme que j'avais choisi lorsqu'elle m'a accompagnée à la FIV, et je savais alors qu'elle était née de nouveau elle aussi. Dans ma vie précédente, je voulais avoir un enfant métis, alors j'ai eu recours à la FIV. A l'époque, mon amie se moquait de moi, me considérant comme complètement idiote d'élever un enfant pour un étranger, mais elle ne s'attendait pas à ce qu'un demi-mois plus tard, je sois emmenée chez la famille royale à Dubaï. Il s'est avéré que le sperme que j'avais choisi appartenait au prince métis de huit nations de Dubaï. Non seulement il voulait m'épouser, mais il promettait aussi que notre enfant hériterait du trône. Mon enfant et moi avons été valorisés par toute la famille royale, et j'étais parée de bijoux qui brillaient de mille feux. Ma meilleure amie, en revanche, a été licenciée de son entreprise et exclue de l'industrie en raison de son féminisme excessif, qui a suscité la colère de ses collaborateurs. Lors de la fête du 100e jour de mon fils, elle a utilisé toutes ses économies pour acheter un billet d'avion afin de venir me rejoindre. Lorsque je l'ai accueillie, elle a tué mon fils en le jetant par terre et a versé sur moi de l'acide sulfurique concentré. « Qu'est-ce qui te rend si chanceuse ? Tu ne le mérites pas, sal*pe ! » En rouvrant les yeux, je suis revenue au jour où j'ai demandé à ma meilleure amie de m'accompagner à la FIV...
