Today I received a card from my company for my birthday. My birthday was three weeks ago so I definitely wasn’t expecting anything. After I opened the envelope and the card, my heart sank. I looked in utter disbelief at the gift my corporate overlords had bestowed on me.
One single dollar bill.
I picked it up and inspected both sides, half expecting half hoping for at least another one, but it was just the lonely one. I wanted to throw the card away and quit right there. It just felt so disrespectful and I would’ve preferred nothing at all.
