OP was a data and reporting analyst, responsible for ad hoc reports in a company where their boss, Kerry, proved to be nothing short of useless. Always arriving late, leaving early, and taking days off at short notice, Kerry managed to evade consequences due to her involvement in an affair with her boss, Stewart. The only valuable contribution she made was the regular reports, such as sales and revenue figures. Suspicions grew among the team, suspecting her illicit relationship as the reason for her leniency.

Meanwhile, the CEO of the company had a reputation for seeking cost-cutting measures and rewarding employees for their innovative initiatives. Kerry, cunning and ambitious, seized this opportunity to encourage her team to automate their tasks. Her ulterior motive was to take credit for the resulting savings while exploiting their efforts. Little did she know that her encouragement would backfire in the most unforeseen way.
