After My Boss Blocked My Five-Dollar Reimbursement, the Company Went Bankrupt

Kayla Chavez had transferred from headquarters to run the branch office three days earlier. She had always been known for her iron fist and her one-woman rule. All because I pointed out in a meeting that the branch had its own management policies, she took it out on me. She rejected a five-dollar expense reimbursement of mine, and threw in a snide remark about me lining my own pockets. I'd been with the company ten years, from an intern who knew nothing to the top sales rep I was now.
