Moriah, a dedicated Senior Manager for Customer Experience at a major corporation, had a stellar career. However, her professional life took a turn when a new Employee Engagement Manager, Mr. Drew, was hired.
During their one-on-one meeting, Mr. Drew’s dismissive attitude and rude comments about Moriah’s age deeply offended her. He questioned her relevance, suggesting she should be retired. Moriah, angered by his remarks, decided to quit, leaving the office without looking back.

After spending a few weeks at home with her grandchildren, Moriah missed her work. One day, while at a carnival, she received a call from the company’s CEO. He had learned about Mr. Drew’s behavior and its impact on Moriah. The CEO requested her return, promising that Mr. Drew would no longer be a problem. He even offered Moriah a promotion to Managing Partner, with the task of evaluating Mr. Drew’s role.
Upon her return, Moriah discovered that Mr. Drew’s position was redundant and that the company was operating with unnecessary expenses. As a result, Mr. Drew was fired, and Moriah resumed her role without further interference.
**Lesson:** Respect and fairness are crucial in the workplace. Moriah’s expertise and dedication were valued, leading to a resolution that corrected the initial wrongs.
