When I woke up the next morning I had an email from Jim. “Hey Morgan, I’m really sorry, I’m dealing with a headache and won’t be able to make it in. Can we reschedule for tomorrow?” MOTHERFUCKER ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?

I took some deep breaths. I contemplated how I should react. I wanted to physically fight him. “No worries Jim, let’s do it tomorrow.” I had to do something about this. This was totally unacceptable to me. I forwarded the email to Greg, like the idiot that I am.

“Greg, I had to work most of the night because of Jim, and he canceled our meeting because he was partying with our competitors. In my book, this is totally unacceptable. What am I supposed to do?” No response. On my commute in, I got a notification of a meeting.

What? Am I being fired? There’s never a time when a room is not booked for a meeting. This felt like I was in trouble over something. Like a grade-schooler.

5pm rolled around and I schlepped to Greg’s desk. He gave me his usual smug smile and his manufactured calmness and pointed to an empty room near him.

Greg: “So what happened?” I told him. He patronized me with his stupid fucking nods and his shit-eating grin. Greg: “So I know that you have big ambitions here. I know you think might want to manage this team.” I never said that shit.

Greg: “Well, it’s not going to go as you planned. In fact, I think I’m going to make Jim your manager after we launch.” Me: “Uhhhh, ok? But why aren’t you addressing what I told you? You’re making me feel like I don’t belong here.” Greg: “I’m not sure you do.”

Me: “Soooo, are you firing me?” He laughed and said, “No, but you can go home now.” What. The. Fuck.
