The company CEO, Mr. Thompson, was on a conference call when he received an urgent message to convene in the boardroom. As he walked in, he was met by Linda, and representatives from various departments, each echoing the need for immediate action. The evidence was overwhelming, the collective voice too loud to ignore.

Within the hour, a decision was made that sent shockwaves through the office. Dan was summoned and informed of the consequences of his actions. His dismissal was announced, not just for the incident with Angela, but for creating a hostile work environment that was contrary to the company’s values.
