"What do you mean deserve? Ashley Gomez, you earn such a high salary, yet you're never in the office. The company hasn't pursued you for dereliction of duty, and offering you a month's salary is already a generous deal. You still want more compensation? In your dreams!"
I sneered, "Mr. Lewis, it's okay that you're new and don't understand. I can enlighten you.
"The company's business is the result of me running around and breaking my legs. If I stayed in the office all day, Vice President, your salary might not even exist."
His face darkened, and he pointed at me imperiously.
"In any case, the company won't keep a parasite like you! Either you transfer to a cleaning position, or you hand over your client resources and get out immediately!"
Arguing with a workplace thug only leads to frustration.
I took a deep breath.
"I'm the top performer and I haven't made any mistakes. I won't accept a transfer to another department. The company can either provide a written notice and compensate me.
"Or, please ask Mr. Lewis not to interfere with my work. I'm very busy."
"You! Ashley! How dare you talk to me like that!"
I let out a scoff.
