Foolishness

Unlike I was expecting, the next two weeks of my work at the bank seemed quiet. I continued writing my reports, knowing that more and more people would get fired, but somehow I didn't feel as much hatred directed at me as before. I had noticed that people had started to ignore me as if they feared me. Perhaps they thought that my evaluation of their work was based on my personal likes or dislikes. They were completely wrong. First, I didn't know any of them, and second, I didn't care. As much as it sounds cruel, my work was about numbers and correctly written paragraphs, not my personal attitude. If there had been abnormalities that had caused losses, there should have been consequences, easy as that.

On the other hand, I also pointed out people who had done their work exceptionally well and deserved a raise or promotion. Of course, if that happened, I was certain that none of those people would ever think that it was due to my reports, simply because it was something good…<
