Framed by My Interns Not in This Lifetime

In my past life, I spent three agonizing months mentoring Mia Vance. I pulled all-nighters polishing her project proposals and carried her performance metrics on my own back.

On the day of her full-time performance evaluation, she blindsided me. Backed by two other interns, she handed a joint complaint to HR in front of the entire company.

Their accusation? "Workplace abuse and intellectual property theft."

I froze. To make it easier for her to learn, I had always edited the files directly on her laptop without keeping local drafts on mine.
