Boss Finds Note After Reducing Senior Worker’s Vacation Days

Company Assets

Malcolm continued to apply himself at work. It reached a point where the manager trusted him with some of the most crucial company designs to build and assemble.

And these weren’t your run-of-the-mill products either. Malcolm was dealing with patented company assets that were the main reason they were relevant in the city. He was the lifeblood of the company.  

Consistency

An expert in what he did, Malcolm consistently churned out quality work, and after a while, his manager promoted him to head of engineering. 

The new position didn’t dumb down his work ethic or dedication. If anything, it sharpened his focus, ensuring he was more effective at his job. He had no clue that his position would bring its set of issues later down the road.   

The Midas Touch

Being the head of the engineering department was everything to Malcolm. His designs brought in many clients, praising the company’s craftsmanship and attention to detail. 

But the only people who knew how to build the parts in question. As expected, one of them was Malcolm and the other his boss, the company owner. But this would soon change. 

Blink And Decades Blur By

Forty years later, Malcolm’s boss would make an announcement that would shatter the company morale. She was retiring after decades at the helm and was in talks with an established electronics developer in the city about selling the company.   

She promised the new management would be as she was, always welcoming but strict when needed. She’d only wanted the best for what she’d taken years to build. But her retiring would be the first push to the largest domino effect the company would ever see.  

A Change In Management

Malcolm’s boss retired as she’d promised, and soon enough, the new management came. They were civil at first, ensuring that everyone was comfortable enough to continue working with them. 

But a few months later, their true colors began showing. Malcolm didn’t want to believe at first, mainly because he believed his previous boss would leave them in capable hands. But with time, things became clear.
