My boss Susan stole my project, took my office, and humiliated me. I didn't fight back. I handed her a liability form. She signed it. Days later, during inspection, her demo crashed. Red warnings flashed. The speakers played her voice: "Just grab open-source crap." The client left. Susan got handcuffed for embezzlement. I returned, doubled my salary, and rebuilt everything. Crime doesn't pay. But the real snake? That came later.
