On My Seventh Day at Work, My Boss Forced Me to Give a $9,999 Gift

On my seventh day at the company, my thirty-six-year-old female boss, who called herself "baby," posted a payment QR code in the company group chat.

"Baby's birthday. New employees, your welcome gift to the family is $9,999. Remember to send it before six tonight."

I looked at my $3,800 intern's salary and couldn't believe it.

"Ma'am, typo, right? Ninety-nine bucks sounds more like it?"

The whole office went silent.

Right then and there, the boss's eyes went red, and she started a livestream to complain that I was bullying baby, that I didn't know gratitude.
