Executive Assistant’s Desire For A New iPhone Gets Her Terminated Instantly

When you're aware that your company offers special perks to all employees, it's important not to become overly selective or demanding about them. Embrace what's given, as such conduct is highly favored by leadership. On the flip side, if you don't go along with the company's way of doing things, you might find yourself out of the picture eventually, because no company wants an employee whose values don't match theirs.

She got really upset and decided to break her iPhone 7, which led straight to her dismissal. Keep scrolling to read the full story!
