"So naturally, the only option was to ask for my immediate (and free) dismissal," they wrote. The person had about two days to submit their defense, while the company had been planning for their layoff for weeks. They read the accusations carefully and realized the company had clearly blown things out of proportion, only to terminate them."
"In response, the employee wrote a very detailed defense using the AI system that the company promotes, and surprisingly, it worked in their favor. "Expecting to be fired any moment for months, I took all my annual leave for the winter holidays and waited for my fate," they explained. However, just before Christmas, they received an email stating that the company wouldn't take any further action against them."
