The Billion-Dollar Bid That Killed Me Once

Bidding on the ten-million-dollar project.

I turned in the intern's messy, slapdash proposal exactly as it was.

I wasn't worried. Everyone else in the company was.

Because in my last life, the new intern had eagerly volunteered for the job.

Then, the day before the bid, she handed me a garbage proposal.

I lost my temper: "Even the basic formatting is wrong."

"We encourage new hires, but that doesn't mean you get to blow me off like this."

To my surprise, she argued back without a shred of guilt.
