"You're fired." The newly appointed director propped his feet up on the desk and looked at me with contempt. I asked him why. He replied, "I don't like you. Isn't that reason enough?" I nodded. "That's enough." I returned to my workstation, but instead of packing my things, I opened the company email system. The recipient: all shareholders. The message: If the new marketing director isn't fired within one hour, I'll have my father withdraw his investment. I even attached my father's handwritten letter of authorization. A heartwarming ending with positive values.
