Rita hated the way she felt each day walking into her cubicle. She knew sooner or later the belittling would begin. It was covert, of course. It couldn’t be done outright. There are laws against that, you see.
Instead, the moves were insidious – most couldn’t see beyond her boss’ facade.
Rita wondered what people would think when the mass exodus of employees began. She wondered, but didn’t really care. Her desk was cleared. It was time.
Head high, she walked leisurely to the door, turned and winked at the receptionist. She threw a one-fingered salute and walked through door.
Satisfaction achieved.
