Fire Your Top Mechanic, Bury Your Shop
I, Lilian Newton, am the top luxury goods repair specialist. 90 percent of the store's revenue comes from me.
Three years on the job, I turn a little shop that nearly goes bankrupt into a nationwide chain.
Just because I am two minutes late to work, the new manager locks the front door and plans to take the staff on a trip.
I ask her why I was not informed.
She scoffs and says, "The capable should do more work. We are going on a trip. You stay behind to work overtime. If you can't handle it, then get lost!"
I laugh in exasperation and call my husband right away. "I hear you're planning to fire me. Is that it?"
