Fired, Not Forgotten — Ethan Suspends Alara's Allowance

The new boss came in swinging, and I was the first one in the hot seat. Starting this month, all allowances for non-official positions in the administration department will be cancelled. Alara, your monthly $2,000 translation allowance is also suspended.

Ethan, this allowance was established by Harold three years ago. I've always been responsible for French contract translation and foreign client Your position is administrative clerk Translation is not within your job duties

You've done translation for six years and you've never received any official email requests for translation have That's right But all French related matters have always been handled by me and there has never been a separate work That's exactly it. Without a work order, it's not considered official work, it's not part of my duties, and the company doesn't need to pay

This is company policy. Nothing personal. That's it. Meeting adjourned.
