The final confrontation came on a Friday, a fitting end to a tumultuous week. My supervisor called me into their office, their expression unreadable.
“I’ve made my decision,” they said, once the door was closed behind me.
I braced myself for the worst, my heart pounding in my chest.
“You’re being transferred,” they announced, their tone flat.
“Transferred?” I echoed, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events.
They nodded, their gaze unwavering. “Effective immediately.”
And just like that, everything changed. I left the office that day with a mix of relief and uncertainty, unsure of what the future held but hopeful that it might be better than what I was leaving behind.
