I developed the AI that powered Innovatech's meteoric rise, securing $50 million in Series B funding.
My wife, Bella, our CEO, promised me significant public recognition and a hefty bonus for my pivotal role.
But after calling me on stage, she handed me a flimsy envelope containing a $50 Amazon gift card.
Hours later, I scrolled through her latest social media posts: Julian Vance, our new 'Chief Branding Officer' of two months, grinning beside a new Tesla Model S Plaid, sporting a limited-edition Audemars Piguet watch, all company-expensed, with Bella's caption praising his "contributions to our Series B success."
The humiliation deepened when I discovered my generous bonus was withheld.
Worse, my entire engineering team' s monthly performance bonuses were zeroed out, with a sub-note about "inefficient resource utilization"-a transparent excuse to cover Julian's exorbitant spending.
