Fourteen people. One boss. And apparently, a very specific dollar amount everyone was expected to contribute. When our hero came in under budget, the project manager had some thoughts. Public thoughts. About their character.
The wildest part? How much money we’re actually talking about here. And how long this person had even been working there. I’ll give you a hint: you’ve kept leftovers in your fridge longer.
