No More Dream Retreat: The Whistleblower's Regret
As New Year's Day approaches, a new hire who has only been with the company for six months, who is a mama's girl, calls the police and tries to have me arrested.
She suspects our company is some kind of a scam.
But the truth is, the company exceeded its performance targets this year.
That is why I prepared a million-dollar year-end bonus, a ten-day premium trip to Graceland, and equity grants for my employees.
Yet, she waves around a video her mother sends her, claiming that high-paying jobs like the one I offered are all traps. Not only that, she slanders my company all over the internet.
Netizens become outraged and call me a scammer disguised as an entrepreneur.
Having become the target of public criticism, I simply issue a notice, saying, "The company will immediately begin transfer procedures, and all perks are canceled."
As soon as the announcement comes out, my employees, who have just taken out loans to buy homes and just gotten their visas for the trip, are completely stunned.
