The invitation came through Outlook at 9:03 a.m. — "Meeting with HR and Management: 9:30 a.m., Conference Room C." No subject line. No context. Just the kind of message that instantly makes your stomach drop.
I had been with Ashford & Wells for fifteen years. Fifteen years of early mornings, late nights, building systems from the ground up, mentoring new hires, and fixing messes no one else even noticed until they exploded. I’d missed birthdays, anniversaries, and even my mother’s funeral because of this job. And yet, here I was, being summoned like a schoolkid to the principal’s office.
