The Intern's Plot to Cut My Pay
The intern secretly submitted a voluntary pay-cut application on my behalf.
As a result, my salary dropped from $10,000 to $2,000.
When I found out and confronted him, my boss and colleagues all defended him.
"The company is not doing great right now. Oscar was just trying to save costs for us. Do you have to nickel-and-dime over this?"
With my salary so low, I couldn't afford the special medication for my chronic migraines, and one day I passed out at my desk during an attack.
But the intern snuck a video of me unconscious and posted it on the company's website. He even whipped up a detailed 100-page slideshow breaking down how I was slacking off on the clock and dumping all my work on him.
Overnight, I was labeled a workplace bully. My boss gave me the cold shoulder, and my colleagues whispered about me.
Even worse, some extreme "anti-workplace-bullying" activists tracked me down to my home, showed up with two cans of gasoline, and burned me and my parents alive.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on that very day when the intern had submitted my pay-cut form.
In this second chance at life, I would make sure everyone saw the intern for who he truly was.
