Jade
yeah. Dan is our MANAGER, Priya 😭
Jade
the whole office is watching the chat right now. nobody is working lol
Priya
ok but... she's not wrong though. i've seen it happen
Jade
priya
Jade
don't say that out loud ok. Dan is literally 10 metres away from us
Priya
i'm still in the bathroom btw 😬
Jade
well stay there. it's chaos out here. HR just walked in
Priya
wait has anyone replied to Maya's message?
Jade
no one is saying anything 💀 60 people just reading it in silence
Priya came back from the bathroom and sat down at her desk. A few minutes later, a direct message appeared — from Maya herself.
Maya
Priya. I need to talk to you.
Priya
Maya... are you ok? that message was...
Maya
I'm fine. I've been planning this for two weeks actually.
Priya
two weeks?? and you didn't tell me?
Maya
I'm sorry. I wanted to. But I wasn't sure you'd support me.
Priya
what? why not?
Maya
Because you and Dan have lunch together every week.
Priya
that's just... he organises it for the whole team. it's not like we're friends
Maya
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.
Priya
the henderson project... maya that was YOUR idea from the start. i remember when you first told me about it
Maya
Exactly.
Priya
ok i feel really bad that i didn't say anything before. i saw things and i just... kept quiet
Maya
I know. A lot of people did.
Maya
But it's done now. I already emailed HR a formal complaint this morning with evidence. The group message was just... the last piece.
Priya
wait — you have evidence??
Maya
Emails. Timestamps. Draft documents saved in my name weeks before Dan 'presented' anything.
Priya
ok ngl i'm kind of impressed
Maya
😐 thanks
Priya
so what happens now? are you actually leaving today?
Maya
Yes. I'm packing my things now. HR asked me to come in at 2pm for a meeting.
Priya
i really hope it goes well. like genuinely
Maya
Thank you Priya. That actually means something.
Jade came over to Priya's desk and whispered something. Priya looked across the office at Dan, who was staring at his screen. Then Jade sent a message.
Jade
Dan just asked me who Maya has been talking to this morning
Priya
what did you say
Jade
i said i don't know. but priya... he's going to find out you two spoke
Priya
let him. i'm not hiding anything
Jade
ok but just be careful yeah? he's your manager too
Priya
i know. but if i stay quiet, i'm just doing what i always do
Jade
...fair
At 2:17pm, Maya walked out of the HR meeting. She sent Priya a message before leaving the building.
Maya
HR took my complaint seriously. They're opening an investigation.
Priya
Maya!! that's huge
Maya
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
...
Maya
Priya?
Priya
Ok, look... yeah, I'm a little bit shocked right now. Like, my hands are literally shaking. But you know what — yes. If HR asks me, I'll tell them what I saw. Because honestly? You were right about all of it. And I should have said something a long time ago. So... yeah. I've got your back.
Maya
Thank you. Really.
Maya
I'm outside now. Walking to the bus stop. First time in four years I've left this building and actually felt free.
Priya
that's the best thing i've heard all day. let me know how it goes yeah? all of it.
Maya
I will. And Priya — watch your back in there too, ok?
Priya
yeah. i will.
