Although I was ostracized after Director Lee left, and the boss cut my salary and suppressed me, this company had one advantage that other companies couldn't match.
Less than 500 meters east of here is the city's most famous cancer hospital, where my grandfather is undergoing long-term treatment.
It is the critical moment of treatment now, convenient for me to go over and take care of him after work.
And I must ensure a fixed income, and I cannot let my grandfather know that I am about to lose my job, otherwise he will definitely refuse to accept the expensive treatment plan.
This is why I didn't leave with Director Lee when he invited me with a high salary.
After Director Lee resigned, I took over the unfinished project team. From market research to planning to three sets of proposals, even the final event host script was written by me.
The final draft submitted last week was unanimously approved by the board of directors. Once implemented, it can bring at least ten million in profit to the company.
I thought these could win back the boss's trust, and the value I created was enough to raise my salary partly.
But today the boss discussed forcing me to resign with the HR director in Korean in front of me, just to save $50 in holiday fees!
I have worked conscientiously for six years, bringing at least ten million in profit to the company, yet I don't deserve a ridiculous $50!
In that case, don't blame me for being impolite.
There are three days left before International Women's Day, enough for me to prepare a big gift for them.
Just as I was planning to counterattack the boss, I was called to the boss's office again.
"Willa, this is Dr. Zhao, who returned from overseas. He will be responsible for leading the overall work of the tech department in the future. He is not very familiar with our company yet, you have to cooperate with him well."
This is stealing my thunder!
The project that no one was optimistic about after Director Lee left was thrown to me. I worked overtime alone for a month, and unexpectedly it passed the board's decision and became the company's leading project this year.
Now that the plan is about to be implemented, I am suddenly kicked out and replaced?
The boss spoke straightforwardly, not caring about my feelings at all, nor did he communicate with me, the vice president of the tech department, in advance.
The grievances and exclusion I suffered in the past month surged into my heart instantly. I could endure their whispering and pointing behind my back, pretending not to know.
I just played dumb when they created groups and established new R&D teams behind my back.
They took away the planning proposal just passed, and I chose to swallow my pride seeing the situation was unclear.
Now they are pushing their luck!
Thinking I am a soft persimmon, they can manipulate me as they please, not treating me as a human at all.
If this goes on, anyone can step on me. Losing power, my plan will be difficult to implement!
