Fined 600,000 For Snacking In The Office

It finally dawned on me.

As the sales director, I used to sit with the rest of the employees. The only difference was that no one was seated beside me. I had the best view of the office. From my seat, I could see everyone sitting opposite me.

Things had changed. He could not wait to covet my seat. My new seat was opposite him, located closest to the window.

Even though there was air-conditioning in the summer, I was not allowed to pull the curtains close. The blazing sun shone in through the window and reflected off my computer. It was very hot.

However, these were nothing. I packed my things quietly and prepared to walk toward my new desk with my computer. He stopped me. “There’s no need to hurry. I need to review your computer first. What if you kept the clients’ data with you?”

“Sure, you can have a look!”

I switched on my computer and let him go through it.

The chairman, Mr. Davis, had personally hired me. He had told me that I had the veto power in this company.

However, Mr. Davis had not been in good health in recent years. Hence, he went overseas to recuperate. The things they did in his absence felt ridiculous.

I knew what Winnie was thinking. She wanted to withhold my commission from me and reduce the company’s cost. However, it was not going to be so easy to reduce the cost.

Brandon could not find anything suspicious on my computer, so he gestured at me to leave.

Henry sent me a text message. [Taylor, don’t worry. All of us support you!]

I sent a smiling emoji. Their support barely meant anything. The senior management seated on the twenty-third floor definitely knew what Winnie was doing to me, and they had allowed it to happen.

It meant that Mr. Davis would know about it, too. Since that was the case, I did not have to waste my time on them.

From that moment onward, I would follow the company rules strictly. They would have nothing to pin on me.

I usually met up with clients after work, but that practice was going to end.

I directly drove home and gazed at the sunset as I lay on my bed. I had not done that in a long time, so I was in a good mood.

In the past, I would always have dinners and entertain clients. I finally had time to relax and spend my time for myself. I took out my cell phone and ordered a ticket.

My favorite actress had been featured in hundreds of shows, but I had never been to one. I finally had time to watch one of her works.

I was suddenly added to a new sales group chat.

Brandon had created it.

[Hello everyone. All sales employees would need to write a work journal every day, detailing your conversations with your clients. I will read every single one.

[You have to prepare five potential client profiles every month. If you fail to do so, your salary will be deducted by twenty percent at the month-end evaluation.]

Henry texted me separately to rant. [Look at him! He claimed to be a real genius, but why is he using such an old-fashioned KPI method on us?

[Has he not done any sales before? It’s not easy to find potential customers, and he wants us to find five per month! Most of our past agreements came from our old customers!

[The economy is not good now. How is it possible? We can’t deal with big clients. As for small clients, there are only so many people that fit into our market segment. He’s really pushing us into a dead end.]

Looking at Henry’s text messages, I could only comfort him. [Let’s take it one step at a time. You should just do what your boss wants you to do.]

[Taylor, are you really okay with him pushing you down like this? I’m not! If it were me, I’d have already resigned! I won’t be able to take this!]

Henry was very direct. I smiled when I saw what he wrote, but I stopped replying to him.

I was not worried about it. They would soon feel it.
