yeah. Dan is our MANAGER, Priya 😭

the whole office is watching the chat right now. nobody is working lol

priya

don't say that out loud ok. Dan is literally 10 metres away from us

well stay there. it's chaos out here. HR just walked in

no one is saying anything 💀 60 people just reading it in silence

Priya. I need to talk to you.

I'm fine. I've been planning this for two weeks actually.

I'm sorry. I wanted to. But I wasn't sure you'd support me.

Because you and Dan have lunch together every week.

Priya, I know this is a lot. But I need you to understand why I did this. Dan took the Henderson project. My project. I worked on it for three months and then he presented it to the board with his name on it. His name. Not mine. Not even a mention. And when I complained to HR last month, nothing happened. Nothing. So I decided — if they won't listen quietly, then I'll say it where everyone can hear it.

Exactly.

I know. A lot of people did.

But it's done now. I already emailed HR a formal complaint this morning with evidence. The group message was just... the last piece.

Emails. Timestamps. Draft documents saved in my name weeks before Dan 'presented' anything.

😐 thanks

Yes. I'm packing my things now. HR asked me to come in at 2pm for a meeting.

Thank you Priya. That actually means something.

Dan just asked me who Maya has been talking to this morning

i said i don't know. but priya... he's going to find out you two spoke

ok but just be careful yeah? he's your manager too

...fair

HR took my complaint seriously. They're opening an investigation.

They also asked if anyone else on the team had seen anything. I gave them your name. I'm sorry — I should have asked first.

Priya?

Thank you. Really.

I'm outside now. Walking to the bus stop. First time in four years I've left this building and actually felt free.

I will. And Priya — watch your back in there too, ok?
