The following days were a blur of phone calls and meetings, each one leaving me more frustrated than the last. I felt like I was caught in a web of bureaucracy, with no clear path forward. More than once, I found myself staring at the ceiling in the early hours of the morning, unable to sleep as my mind raced with possibilities and what-ifs.
One morning, as I sat at my kitchen table with a cup of lukewarm coffee, my phone buzzed with a new email notification. It was from Carla, and my heart skipped a beat as I opened it. The email was brief, outlining the next steps we could take. It was a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak situation.
“We have a couple of options,” Carla had written. “We can try to negotiate with them directly or prepare to contest it legally. Both avenues have their challenges, but I’m here to support you every step of the way.”

Later that day, I found myself pacing the length of my living room, the sound of my footsteps echoing off the walls. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of betrayal, as if the company I had dedicated years of my life to had turned its back on me without a second thought.
“How could they do this?” I muttered to myself, the words disappearing into the empty room. I knew that I needed to stay focused, to keep moving forward despite the odds stacked against me.
With a deep breath, I sat down at my desk and began drafting an email to Carla, outlining my thoughts and concerns. I couldn’t predict the outcome, but I was determined to fight for what I believed was rightfully mine.
