They Betrayed Their Top Sales Director

I was out of town, having just closed a hundred-million-dollar contract. Before I could even send the good news to the team, an email popped up in my inbox. It was a salary reduction agreement from HR.

"Liam, as the Head of Sales, you need to lead by example. The company is going through a rough patch, so we're cutting mid-level management's salaries by 30%!"

I rejected it immediately. But when I got back to the office, my keycard wouldn't scan. They had revoked my security clearance, and my work accounts were completely shut down.

Oh, so that's how we're playing this?
