Fired with a Negative Score I Bankrupted My Boss in Six Months

"This month's performance scores are in. Steve Dickerson: negative one hundred and eight."

"Per company policy, you are terminated effective immediately."

"Head over to HR and process your paperwork."

The moment Nelson Lambert made the announcement in front of the entire department, the room erupted in laughter.

I pressed my lips together and said nothing.

I started packing my things in silence.

I'd been here since the company's founding. Seven years.

The very first client we ever landed? I'd spent three months chasing that account down.
