The day before bonuses were supposed to drop, my boss, Robert, called me into his office. He hit me with the news that my salary was “too high,” my coworkers were salty about it, and it was “hurting team vibes.” He wanted to slash my pay and hand my bonus over to some newbie with connections. I just nodded and said, “Sure thing,” then decided to chill and take it easy from there.
The next day, the client ghosted on their payment, and the whole company got stuck without bonuses. Robert came crawling back, begging me to step in and sort it out. I just shrugged and said, “If I handle all the collections, it’s gonna mess with team morale. Let’s spread the responsibility around, yeah?”
