My Boss Used Me, I Kicked Him Out After Rebirth
Overnight, an electronic notification sounded in the minds of all office workers. It was from a "Performance-Share System".
The rules: employees who paired off could split their year-end bonuses 50/50.
I was a junior associate at Summit Financial, one of the biggest wealth management firms in Manhattan.
In my previous life, I agreed to pair with my manager, Jared, and the intern he brought in — Stephanie.
By the time the project went into its crunch phase, they'd shoved every garbage task and every blown deadline onto me.
I pulled all-nighters for months. My body was running on fumes.
When the one promotion that could have saved me came up, they cut me out of the team without a second thought.
In the end I was fired for "burnout and poor performance." I couldn't make my mortgage. I jumped.
They took the work I'd done with me, walked out with million-dollar bonuses each, and flew off on vacation together.
Then I opened my eyes again. I was back, on the exact day the pair-binding system went live.
This time, I'm not just keeping every cent of what I earn.
This time, I'm putting them in prison.
