Fired, Then Vindicated

“I got fired on a Tuesday morning. Didn’t even finish my coffee. My manager said

it was ‘budget cuts,’ but wouldn’t look me in the eye. I shook hands, packed my desk,

and drove home in silence. That night, I replayed every meeting in my head.

Every comment. Every email. So I went back through my inbox. And that’s when

I noticed it. They’d altered reports after I submitted them. Changed numbers.

Deleted approvals. I started saving everything. Screenshots. Timestamps.

Backup files. Two weeks later, a former coworker called me. Said the company

was under investigation. Guess whose name kept coming up? HR reached out first. Then legal.
