The company director fired me in front of everyone. Two hours later, he called and said, “Dress nicely and meet me by the lake
And strangely enough, years later, I still keep that photo from the lake.
Not because I’m standing beside my former director.
But because that was the day I lost my job…
and the next morning, I discovered that he hadn’t really fired me at all.
He had only removed me long enough to find out who he needed to protect the company from.
