My boss fired me two days before my 10-year anniversary at the company.
He handed me a check for $4,800 and said,
“That’s all you’re getting.”
I didn’t argue.
I packed my things and left.
The next morning, the company’s biggest client called me.
His first question was:
“Did they really fire you?”
I said yes.
He went quiet.
Then he said,
“Then they just made a very expensive mistake.”
