“No way! Our company is stable and robust. Even if we are having issues, I’m sure it wouldn’t be so bad that they would let employees go.”
“Don’t be too complacent,” Duncan remarked in a warning tone.
“This new shareholder that you’re badmouthing has the power to make decisions on behalf of the company. I advise you to stay on your toes and tread carefully.”
“Huh? What do you mean by that? She wouldn’t lay us off, would she?”
Duncan shook his head.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely have your back if something happens. But who’s to say that the same is true for her?”
Later, as the lunch break ended, Hannah entered the staff office with some documents in hand.
“Who is in charge of this environmental project plan?” she asked, holding up a folder.
“It’s me.” Mya Smith stood up.
“That is my team’s project.”
Hannah glanced at her briefly and nodded.
“Bring your team members to my office.”
“Yes.”
The other teams watched with spiteful eyes as Mya herded her teammates after Hannah.
Hannah sat behind her desk and pushed the folder forward.
“So, you guys came up with this proposal? I was told that you were given half month to finalize everything, and this is all you managed? Is this the extent of your capabilities?”
Mya bristled at Hannah’s questioning. She lifted her chin in defiance and said, “This is the product of my team’s hard work. Do you even understand the plan? Don’t go criticizing us with what paltry knowledge you have of our operations.”
Taking their cue from her, the rest of the team also muttered their dissent.

To their surprise, Hannah merely laughed, “If you submit this shitty proposal at every turn, then we might as well close up shop. We’d be better off running a charity instead. Do you think any businessman worth his salt would sign a contract with us if you pitch this garbage to them? These ideas, the designs, even the projected expenditures and revenue are a complete mess.”
Hannah leaned over her desk and rapped her knuckles against its surface. She looked Mya dead in the eye and said, “This is the White Group’s so-called core department, isn’t it? Are you trying to dupe me by submitting this drivel for approval?”
She picked up the proposal and slowly walked around her desk until she was standing right in front of Mya.
“I may have just started working in this company, but it certainly isn’t my first day dealing with this kind of nonsense! If you’re going to muddle through your job, then I suggest you head over to HR, tender your resignation, and take your severance pay! This is no place for people who indulge in their ineptitude!”
Mya was trembling all over in the face of Hannah’s rebuke. She couldn’t even open her mouth to retort.
“I’ve reviewed your team’s performance in the last year,” Hannah added.
