A Regular Monday Morning
The office at GreenTech Solutions in Seattle buzzed with the usual Monday energy. Employees carried steaming mugs, settled into their desks, and swapped weekend stories.
Among them was Dan Miller, the Operations Manager—respected for his sharpness, but equally feared for his temper.
At the break room counter stood Angela Brooks, thirty-two, a project coordinator known for her calm focus and steady rise in the company. She reviewed charts on her tablet, making sure everything was perfect for an upcoming client meeting.
Angela had climbed from entry-level assistant to coordinator in just five years. Most admired her work ethic—everyone except Dan.
