OP was headhunted by a former CEO and good friend to join his new company after it struggled to achieve sales.
OP was hired as a skilled translator of tech-speak to conversational language, she was allowed to work from home while keeping the sales management tool updated.
OP commuted for a month to form a sales strategy and build confidence with department heads, but a VP of Sales was hired right before she launched her plan.
OP faced initial resentment towards the new VP of Sales but despite the hindrance of orienting her, she successfully secured 17 contracts worth around $2M in sales, leaving the CEO thrilled.
OP is thriving in her work-from-home setup with strong sales and a satisfied CEO, but the VP of Sales, Bit**boss, asks OP to support a lie about inflated sales numbers:
The investor questioned OP about the inflated sales numbers and she chooses honesty over supporting the lie:
OP seizes an opportunity to resolve the dilemma by identifying a transposed number on the document and satisfying the potential investor.
OP, after discussing the incident with her lawyer BFF, informs Bit**boss about the inappropriate comment, leading to the CEO being informed and assuring OP that he will address the issue with the CIO promptly.
Despite being a good friend and working together for years, the CEO overreacts when OP mentions her lawyer BFF’s advice. The CEO misunderstands and becomes agitated, although OP tries to calm him down and clarify that she hadn’t involved a lawyer in the situation.
A sudden turn of events occurs as the company hires an attorney regarding OP’s alleged sexual harassment claim, which she adamantly denies, leading to the CEO’s anger and subsequent retaliation against her. Bit**boss intensifies her efforts to make OP’s life miserable:
Despite facing intense retaliation and a worsening work environment, OP was unable to leave due to the need for health insurance and an upcoming complex surgery that required multiple surgeons.
OP’s doctor provided a note releasing her from the daily commute, but bit**boss retaliated by canceling her health insurance and OP collapsed in distress. However, the CEO was scolded by the lawyer and promptly reinstated OP’s insurance before she went on official leave for her surgery.
During her recovery, OP’s mother found a lawyer for her. Realizing she had a strong case for retaliation, OP’s new lawyer advised her to continue working at the company while he pursued legal action, including filing an EEOC claim.
Upon returning to work, OP faces further mistreatment as bit**boss intentionally withholds the company’s new location, causing her to be late on her first day. To her surprise, OP discovers her new desk placed conspicuously in front of the CEO’s office in an open area.

OP finds herself ostracized by the newly hired employees who were influenced by bit**boss’s lies. Following her lawyer’s advice, OP diligently documents all the mistreatment she experiences.
Despite the escalating mistreatment from bit**boss, including multiple write-ups and intense screaming sessions, OP remains composed and unresponsive, infuriating her further.
Despite maintaining a brave face during work hours, OP experiences emotional breakdowns once leaving for the day, often reaching out to her attorney for support during this difficult period.
After obtaining the necessary evidence, OP’s attorney advises her that she can immediately resign without giving a two-week notice. OP returns from lunch and resigns. A month later, OP, her lawyer, the CEO, bitchboss, and their lawyer attend a meeting at the EEOC office for the review of OP’s claim.
Following the proper legal procedures in OP’s state, her lawyer presents her case before the EEOC, providing a comprehensive overview of the evidence supporting her claims. This includes a 40-minute presentation outlining the mistreatment and retaliation she endured. In response, the company presents its side.
With a serene demeanor, OP presents her photocopies of the documents to EEOC Lady and demonstrates that the dates on the documents were altered by Bit**boss.

In a stunning turn of events, EEOC Lady expresses her disbelief at the easily disproven altered documents presented by Bit**boss. EEOC Lady confirms that OP has a strong case for a lawsuit and advises their side to settle immediately or face the consequences in court.
OP accepted the $50k settlement offer. Bit**boss was fired. Fuelled by a deep-seated desire for revenge, OP kept tabs on bit**boss and a year later, when bit**boss opened a finance marketing company, OP seized the opportunity to exact her long-awaited petty delight.
For the past 18 years, OP has taken delight in executing a vengeful project against her former boss. Each year, she visits bit**boss’s website, collects the contact information of her employees, and subscribes them to various aggressive marketing services and email bomb services.
Last year, OP enlisted the help of her cousin, who had started working in the same building as bit**boss. The cousin befriended a receptionist working for bit**boss and went to lunch with her. The receptionist revealed that the entire organization was in disarray.
The icing on the cake for OP was hearing how bit**boss lost a major client due to the frequent turmoil.
$50k was a big settlement 20 years ago:
OP was in so much stress, so she took the money:
“Just winning and getting away from bit**boss is enough!”
“This is like a novel”
