Challenge #01911-E087: Uptick in Downsizing — Steemit
Ten years. Working her ass off. Running the numbers so hard that they sweated. And all she got out of it was making her offices so efficient that she was superfluous to requirements. Thanks for helping us save a billion dollars, Kathi. We’re going to make it a billion plus… your wages. You’re superfluous to requirements.
So now she had ten years of her shit in a cardboard box, no current way to pay her bills, and not many opportunities for accountants, because the firm who had just fired her was also the most popular accounting firm in the country. And seeking work wasn’t as easy for her generation as it was for, say, her gram'pa who walked into his workplace at seventeen and had a job until retirement.
While Kathi waited for her pie and coffee, she searched for anyone looking for accountants. Anywhere. And that was how she heard the people in the next booth.
