Quit With Deals, Left Them Hollow

Summary

The notification for my annual bonus hit my phone while I was entertaining the 120 client heads responsible for ninety percent of my company’s revenue.

When they learned that I, the man who managed every one of their accounts, had received such a paltry sum, the mood at the table soured instantly.

Meanwhile, my colleagues were blowing up the company group chat, ecstatic about their $25,000 bonuses.

I finished my dinner with quiet composure.

Seven days later, my contract expired, and I walked away.
