00:00The woman had worked tirelessly to develop a system that enabled the company to secure an investment worth tens of
00:05billions of euros.
00:06Yet on the day of the celebration, not only did she fail to receive the 1 million euro bonus promised
00:10by the CEO,
00:11she was even informed that she owed the company 250 euros for the current loan.
00:15Bewildered, she immediately went to the finance department to ask whether there was an error on her pay slip.
00:19She was answered coldly.
00:20The project you signed off on resulted, once advances and hidden costs are taken into account,
00:24in a net loss of 20 million euros for the company.
00:26You must therefore compensate the company in the amount of 7,500 euros.
00:31We first deducted your base salary, but since that was not enough, you still owe us 250 euros.
00:36As if that were not enough, the CEO publicly announced that a month earlier he had recruited, at great expense,
00:41a young graduate who had returned from abroad.
00:43To thank her for her outstanding contribution to the project, he decided to award her a bonus of 3 million
00:47euros.
00:48The employees were immediately filled with indignation and murmurs.
00:51The woman could not believe it.
00:52Amir, in turn, who had joined the company recently, had done almost nothing on the system development project.
00:57Yet she was receiving 3 million euros.
00:59Meanwhile, she, who had worked day and night, now owed the company 250 euros.
01:04Furious, she posted her pay slip in the company's internal chat group.
01:06When employees saw it, they immediately began denouncing the injustice done to her.
01:10The CEO shouted,
01:16He had deceived her, and now she was the one being accused, since in the eyes of the company her
01:23hard work represented a loss.
01:24She decided that from that day on, she would limit herself to doing the work of an ordinary employee and
01:29would create no further negative profit.
01:30She then transferred the 250 euros into the company chat group, declaring that her abilities no longer allowed her to
01:36assume the position of director,
01:37and that she would henceforth hand over responsibility for the project to the intern.
01:41Then she left the office, determined not to cause the slightest loss again.
01:44The next day, she arrived at work exactly on time.
01:46Panic colleagues rushed toward her.
01:48The system was experiencing serious slowdowns, and no one was able to resolve the problem.
01:52The partner was about to arrive for the final inspection.
01:54Hearing this, the woman hesitated for a moment.
01:56That partner had once offered her a position at his company, saying that a legendary talent like her should not
02:00be buried in a small firm.
02:02But at the time, out of gratitude to the CEO's family, who had helped her during her studies,
02:06and out of respect for a promise made to the former chairman of the board, she had stayed until the
02:10system went live.
02:11She had declined the offer.
02:12However, keeping a promise did not mean sacrificing herself indefinitely.
02:16She replied calmly,
02:17From now on, all issues will be handled by the intern.
02:20If there's a problem, go to her.
02:21Shortly afterward, the partner arrived and immediately asked why the woman was not present.
02:25The CEO lied, claiming she was ill and resting at home,
02:29and added that the company had invited even more experienced experts to present the system.
02:32But from the very start of testing, a critical alert sounded.
02:35The intern hurriedly said she would take care of it.
02:37Then, once seated, she blamed the employees for not having fixed the slowdown issue.
02:41The employees explained that the system's fundamental architecture had been entirely designed by the woman,
02:45and suggested that the intern seek her advice, but she paid no attention.
02:49The basic framework is already in place.
02:51There can't be anything serious, she claimed.
02:53She said it was just a minor data delay, and assured everyone that it would not affect the planned launch
02:57seven days later.
02:58The partner, at the end of his patience, sternly reminded them that the system was crucial,
03:02and that even the smallest problem had to be resolved before launch.
03:05Otherwise, the CEO would have to bear losses of up to 10 billion euros.
03:08After leaving the meeting room, just before entering the elevator,
03:11he asked his assistant to prepare an addendum to the contract,
03:13stating that the woman remained the sole person responsible for the project,
03:16with maximum penalties in the event of breach.
03:18In the days that followed, the woman merely carried out her basic duties,
03:22then played games at her workstation to humiliate the intern.
03:24The intern moved her desk near the area where cleaning equipment was stored,
03:27thinking she would eventually resign.
03:29Contrary to expectations, the woman accepted the situation without protest.
03:33On the eve of the system launch, the CEO, exasperated by what he considered laziness,
03:37accused her of refusing new projects and neglecting old clients,
03:40claiming he could find any employee better than her.
03:42His words wounded her deeply,
03:44as she felt she had now fully repaid her moral debt to the former chairman.
03:47She announced that she would resign the next day.
03:49The CEO was delighted.
03:51What he did not know was that the intern had stolen an unfinished version of the woman's system,
03:54one that would cause all the hidden problems to explode the very next day.
03:58Launch day arrived.
03:58The woman had already completed all her departure formalities.
04:01The intern provoked her.
04:02I'll make the system run perfectly.
04:04You're just a failure, outdated and left behind by your time.
04:07The woman shoved her violently, knocking her to the ground.
04:09The intern shouted for security to throw her out.
04:12At that moment, an employee urgently reminded them
04:14that only a few seconds remained before the official launch.
04:16The intern turned her attention away.
04:18But just one second after the launch,
04:20the system completely collapsed.
