Career
A holiday in Hawaii proved to be a great way to celebrate my ten years’ service with the company. In my absence, a new department head was appointed. The morning of my return, the boss walked in and introduced himself.
“Xavier Truex, your new department head. If you would like to resign now, I will give you a glowing reference. Sooner is better than later.”
“Why would I resign? I mean, I’ve just celebrated ten years’ highly rated service with the company.”
“My girlfriend is looking to change jobs. She has experience in this area.”
I feel the screws tightening.
