01% of users for a highly classified, specialized defense initiative. Ren’s eyes scanned the glowing text, his heart beginning to hammer relentlessly against his ribs. They knew who he was. They had bypassed his VPNs and his proxy servers. They knew exactly where he sat. He scrolled down to the compensation package, his breath catching in his throat. BASE SALARY AGREEMENT: * Immediate Relocation for user and one (1) dependent to a Sector 3 Luxury Penthouse Facility. * Full Class-A Medical Coverage (Including unlimited prenatal, neonatal, and pediatric care).

"Everything's still raw. Give yourself time." "I checked the pack archives a few minutes ago," I confessed. "I read about the severance rite." Anita sat up and frowned. "Why would you do that to yourself? Don't fill your head with all those details. You don't have to make a permanent decision today. Give yourself at least a month before you even think about severance." "What's the point of dragging it out?" I asked. "If it's inevitable, waiting only makes the pain last longer."

He didn't know what she was so smug about. He had no choice but to swallow those bitter thoughts, though. He went to the HR department, escorted by Lucy. Based on his tenure, his severance pay was three months' salary—about 50 to 60 thousand dollars. That eased half his resentment. Nevertheless, he was pissed. Before leaving, he sneered at Lucy and said, "This company is going to tank soon. Tell your precious Ms. Cooper to cash in on her looks while she's young. She should find a rich guy to marry and pop out a litter of kids."

“She kinda does.” My chest tightened. “What do you mean?” I asked, but I already knew I wasn’t going to like the answer. Caleb tilted his head. “I’m guessing you didn’t read the contract.” “I skimmed—” “Of course you did.” He cut me off, shaking his head. “Clause 14B. You can’t resign for the first two years of employment without paying the severance f*e.” “What severance f*e?” I croaked. “$150,000,” he said flatly. “So unless you’ve got that lying around—or unless Maddox fires you—you’re stuck.”

“Good morning, Mrs Dorsey. Please, have a seat.” She sat, her hands trembling just slightly. “I was surprised to be called here,” she said. “I thought maybe it’s about the new sanitation schedules.” I opened my mouth to explain, but Alex cut in first. “Mrs Dorsey, as part of the company’s annual restructuring plan, your position is being phased out. We’ll be providing a severance package for your years of service with us.” The words hit the room like cold water. Helen’s eyes widened. “Oh,” she whispered. “I… I see.”

“You don’t understand. I need this job! I would be more than dead without it!” My panic doesn’t seem to do my heart any good as it continues to sting in my chest, but it is probably just because I now know that it is trying to kill me. “I need the money,” I lean forward, clasping the table. The doctor looks at me in silence, sorting his thoughts before he smiles at me. “You know that you would be entitled to a severance payment if you had to be fired because of such a health reason?” “A severance payment?” I ask with a gasp, my thoughts spiralling. “How much would that be?”

“Oh, sorry! Then I’m forced to fire you.” “Sir, I beg you,” Velia pleaded. “I don’t want to be fired.” Ricardo looked unsteady. “Ah, and don’t think you’ll get severance. Salary and your severance pay will be directly deducted to pay off your debt!” Velia paled even more. “Sir, please.” Ricardo ignored Velia, who had been taking pity on him. He actually moved to want to get out of his room. Velia instantly grabbed Ricardo’s hand. “Please, sir. I really need money, Sir. I don’t know where to go if I get fired.”

"But it's not time for the riddle's answer to be revealed—cooperate with me and get yourselves fired, alright?" "Fired? Why?" The beefcake was perplexed. "We could just quit." "You'd have to be paid several months worth of your monthly salary as severance pay," Frank pointed out. The beefcake shrugged. "We're not worried about that!" Frank laughed. "You're not, but they are. Why not give them a taste of pain instead?"

"Carol, I heard you lost your job?" Carol quickly nodded, humming in response. "Did the company offer any severance?" Mila asked. Carol shook her head and said in a resigned tone, "The company was just a small cleaning service that relied mostly on freelance gigs. I never had a contract, so there's no severance pay." Mila turned to Nathan. "Nate, did you hear that?" "Got it. I'll make sure someone follows up on this. We'll address severance pay, penalties, and restructuring. Nothing will slip through the cracks," Nathan responded.

[“Andy, you’re not ready for anything like that. Just fire the woman. She already cost Monarch some serious distrust when she didn’t relay the design to be used. I’m sure they will just get rid of her. She’s not that useful to him or to you anymore.” At this, Andrea looked at Clara and her boyfriend. She combed her hand through her hair, speaking with a rather different tone of regret and guilt. “I wish I was stronger and wiser. I can’t do anything else but let you go, Clara. I won’t press charges against you. Just take it as you resigning to take care of your mother. I will get Finance to expedite your severance pay.” “…if I resign with her, can I get my
