Chapter 12 - Marcus’s Company Board Holds An Emergency Termination Vote
At 8:00 AM sharp the following morning, the board of directors at Marcus’s firm held an emergency conference call.
Jonathan Vance chaired the meeting with a grim expression, placing the official termination documentation on the screen.
“As of today, Marcus Vale is stripped of all executive titles, stock options, and severance packages,” Jonathan announced firmly.
“On what legal grounds?” a board member loyal to Marcus asked nervously.
“Breach of corporate ethics, bringing public disrepute to the firm, and direct conflict of interest with our primary equity holder,” Jonathan replied.
The vote passed unanimously within thirty seconds, without a single director raising a voice in defense of the disgraced employee.
Marcus was locked out of his digital accounts, his corporate email wiped clean before he even woke up.
