They Trusted AI Over Me
It took me three months to get our company retreat venue down to $200 a head.
All 120 people in the company thought it was a steal, and they couldn't stop telling me so.
Then Chloe, the new intern, tagged me in the company group chat.
"Ryan, Cookie says this lodge will do $150 a person. You quoted $200. Where did the other fifty go?"
Our boss decided on the spot: "Chloe's running the retreat."
And all hundred-plus people in the company decided I'd been taking kickbacks.
I stared at the screen and typed two words.
"Sounds good."
What she didn't know was that the $200 was a family rate, one I'd earned by working three months as a server for my dad.
The public price?
It starts at $380
