00:00I still remember the exact moment my access got revoked. No warning. No meeting. Just a cold
00:08email that said, your position has been terminated. The crazy part? Two weeks earlier, I had literally
00:15saved this company from collapsing. I joined this startup in Austin thinking it was my big break.
00:21Long hours, low pay, but I believed in the vision. My boss, Mark, always called me the problem
00:28solver. Said I was family. I trusted him like that actually meant something. When our biggest
00:36client threatened to pull out, everyone panicked. Mark didn't know what to do. I stayed up three
00:42nights straight, rewrote the entire proposal, and closed the deal myself. That contract kept the
00:48company alive. A week later, Mark stopped replying to my messages. Meetings I used to lead? I wasn't
00:57invited anymore. Then came the email. No thank you. No explanation. Just HR language and a final
01:06paycheck. I sat there staring at my laptop, feeling stupid for believing loyalty mattered.
01:12For days, I blamed myself. Maybe I worked too hard. Maybe I trusted the wrong people.
01:20Watching LinkedIn updates hurt the most. Mark posting about his team wins. Smiling. Taking
01:28credit for work that nearly destroyed me. I felt invisible. I didn't argue. I didn't expose him
01:36online. I stayed quiet. Instead, I reached out to the client directly. They knew who actually did the
01:44work. Three months later, they offered me a role double the salary, remote, full authority. Guess who
01:52lost that contract after I left? Yeah, Mark taught me something valuable. Not everyone who smiles with
01:59you wants you to win. Sometimes the best revenge isn't destroying someone. It's outgrowing them.
02:06The best mythology.'
02:06God bless.
02:07You
