Worst Employee? The System Disagreed

Synopsis

Yeah, that was right. The "Worst Employee of the Year" was me. When my name and employee ID popped up on the giant screen, the whole room went quiet for a couple of seconds, and then everyone burst out laughing. It wasn't a mocking laugh. It was more like, "Of course, it's her." "Caroline, please come up and get your award," my manager, Jaden Larsen, said, his tone relaxed as he held the mic. I stood up and walked onto the stage. Over three hundred people stared at me. I took the red certificate of honor, opened it, and glanced inside. Then I smiled, "Thanks." Jaden paused, surprised. The audience paused, stunned, too. No one had a clue why I was smiling. But I knew.
