Fined $7,000 For My Wife’s Surgery? Enjoy Your Ruined Company

During our mandatory weekend corporate retreat, I took leave to be by my wife's side for her emergency surgery.

When I got back, Marcus fined me seven thousand dollars in front of the entire office.

"Company policy states that team synergy comes before everything else!" Marcus barked. "Ethan, as a senior designer, you set a terrible example by skipping a company event. Your penalty is doubled!"

The very next day, I saw his young secretary, Tiffany, carrying a brand-new Chanel bag worth exactly seven thousand dollars.

So that's how he wanted to play? Fine. I'm done being his doormat!
