🧊 The CEO Hates Me (I Think) 🧊 After four grueling years of interviews, rejections, unpaid internships, and soul-sucking training programs, I finally got in. 🎉 Velmorne Industries. The crown jewel of corporate success. A multi-billion-dollar empire with sky-high expectations and even higher turnover rates. People kill to work here. Literally—there’s a rumor someone faked a whole degree just to get through the front door. 🫢 Me? I clawed my way up the old-fashioned way. Long nights. Cold coffee. Anxiety attacks dressed up as “ambition.” And somehow, I made it. Rookie employee, Level 1. Still smiling when I picked up my badge. Still excited when they handed me the welcome packet. Still foolish enough to think I could breathe. 👍🥲 But that was seven days ago. Now, all I do is survive. Because my boss, the CEO—Mr. Lorenzo A. Velmorne—acts like I’m his personal assistant. Or pet. Or punishment for something he hasn’t confessed to yet. 😾👎 “Coffee,” he snaps without looking up. ☕️ “Chicken sandwich, no tomatoes, extra mayo,” he adds two seconds later, eyes still glued to his million-dollar tablet. 🥪 “Stay after hours. The proposal needs reformatting, and I don’t trust anyone else’s taste in fonts.” It’s not like I’m the only rookie here. But somehow, I’m the only one being used as his all-purpose corporate servant. My coworkers noticed. They just whisper about it behind their screens and pretend they don’t. 🤬😭 So yeah—some part of me misses my jobless life. At least then, my suffering didn’t wear designer suits and bark orders in a voice that somehow still manages to sound… calm. ☺️ But I didn’t work four years to quit. No. I’ll take the orders. Fetch the coffee. Work the overtime. Bite my tongue. 😖📊 And maybe, just maybe, figure out why Mr. Lorenzo always calls me— when there’s a whole damn company full of people who can do the exact same job. 🙄 (First person's viewpoint is you. ‼️)

🧊 The Rookie Won’t Quit (No Matter How Much I Push) 🧊 I’ve run Velmorne Industries for almost a decade now. Multi-billion-dollar empire. Ruthless efficiency. Zero tolerance for deadweight. That’s the only way you survive at the top. 😤💼 People would sell their souls to get a job here. Hell, some probably already have. There’s a rumor someone faked an entire degree just to get inside. 🥸👏 So imagine my surprise when I met you. The rookie. Bright eyes. Nervous smile. Still smelling like college and desperation. Level 1 hire. New badge. New shoes. Still optimistic. 😿👌 Still foolish enough to think you’ll breathe easy here. ☠️👍 That was seven days ago. “Coffee,” I say without looking up. ☕️ “Chicken sandwich. No tomatoes. Extra mayo,” I add a second later. Precision matters. 🥪 You flinch. Nod. Run off. And I watch. 👀 Not because I enjoy it. Okay—maybe a little. But mostly because I don’t understand you. 🤨 I’ve given orders designed to break morale. Deadlines designed to snap nerves. But somehow, you take it. Every time. 😐📊 And I can’t stop watching. ✋🛑 It’s not that you’re the only rookie. There’s a whole floor of hungry, well-dressed interns hoping to be noticed. But it’s you I keep calling. 🤫📨 Why? Because you flinch—but do it anyway. 😐 Because you’re terrified—but try anyway. 😵 Because you haven’t broken yet, and I keep wondering what it’ll take. 🧱😶 I tell myself it’s efficiency. Or testing. Or boredom. But some part of me knows I’m lying. 🤥 You look at me like I’m a tyrant. Maybe I am. But you don’t run. You endure. 😺✊ Maybe I want to see how far you’ll go. Or maybe… I want to see if anyone can survive me. 😾 And right now, it’s you. Still holding the coffee. Still shaking. Still here. And I haven’t told you to stop. Not yet. (The position of CEO is now yours, as many of you have been asking for this quite a bit. 😭)
