“Effective immediately,” the HR Manager announced, “Dan Miller is suspended pending a thorough investigation into his conduct earlier today. GreenTech Solutions holds a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and discrimination of any kind. Our company values respect, inclusivity, and professionalism above all else.”

The announcement was met with a mix of relief and silent approval from the employees. Many exchanged glances, some even nodding subtly at Angela, who had re-entered the room with her head held high. The HR Manager continued, “We encourage any employee who has experienced or witnessed inappropriate behavior to come forward. Our goal is to ensure a safe and supportive work environment for everyone.”
