Exact Pay, Exact Time

Synopsis

I lost 30,000 dollars of my year-end bonus, all because I was two minutes late. At the company-wide meeting, Plant Manager Jaxson Flores held me up as an example, saying he needed to "make an example out of one to warn the rest." I didn't fight back. Nor did I argue. I just silently took it. From that day on, I clocked in at the very last second. And the moment the closing bell rang, my computer was off and I was gone.
