Chapter 80 A Change in Demeanor

• My initial decision to quit my job was made out of momentary frustration—I didn’t want my career to depend on Roy, and I didn’t want to see Caleb. However, I was a lot more determined to quit my job after I heard what John said. “Well, you’ve got it wrong, sir. Caleb and I are from the same schools, but he’s two years older than me, and we’ve never spoken to each other. He wouldn’t agree to the partnership just because I’m someone who’s from the same school as him. I think you should get Howard to return to this position—Howard can get the job done.”
• John was a smart man, and he had a lot of experience observing and studying another person’s expression. Based on the tone of my voice, he could tell that there was no longer any point in convincing me. He stood up and went over to sit on his chair behind his desk. With his legs crossed, he placed his elbows on his desk and stared at me. At that moment, he seemed to have the power and influence of a true boss.
• “You’ve been with our company for a while now, Shelly; you should know the rules when it comes to resignation. Supervisors have to provide a one-month notice so that the company has the time to find a replacement for the job. Managers will have to provide a two-month notice, and they will have to complete their tasks at hand before leaving. This is just to ensure that none of the company’s private information gets leaked. Right now, the HR department has officially deemed you as the sales manager, and you still have unfinished cases in your hand. So, your resignation letter is useless for now. We’ll go through everything according to your job agreement.” John had been polite at first, but the speed at which he changed his demeanor was quicker than the time needed for me to flip a page of a book.
