John Doe worked in management at ABC Corp. for 19 years, garnering consistently glowing reviews. He planned to work for ABC until he retired. That was before his new manager, Cruella, came along.

About six months into her tenure, Cruella called John into her office. She told him to shut the door and sit down. She looked angry. She told John that she had been very disappointed with his work. John should pack up his office and leave ABC by the close of that day’s business. He was fired.
