Dear Clara,
I hope this email finds you well. I regret to inform you that this is a letter of employee termination. Your employment with Information Management Systems and Technology Corp. ends as of the date of this email.
You have been terminated for the following reason(s):
Upon the first of the new month, our reports show a four percent decrease in productivity regarding the support queue and your terminal. It was soon reported to us that your grandfather had passed away, and subsequent steps were taken by you to attend his funeral. Your request for time off was filed at the end of that Friday, falling outside of the requested timeframe for giving notice of time off.
We have also received reports of your difficulty communicating with management. When approached about a client reasonably asking if you could work an additional 6 hours of over time on their project, which required completion that evening, less they suffer catastrophic losses of 1.3% on opening, you informed them that overtime was not allowed within your position and forwarded an email to other staff members. This client subsequently contacted upper management, who contacted those other previously mentioned parties and yourself, to discuss the issue of you refusing to volunteer hours upon the project.
Our records indicate you have not attended the full duration of any office events, birthdays, or celebrations. They indicated that the only attendance that received your complete attention were mandatory training exercises.
Our time management software also shows that your attendance has consistently been “on time” even though our employee guidelines stipulate a strict fifteen-minute early requirement.
While recordings of such an event are unavailable, affidavits of fellow employees state that on or about three weeks ago you made the following statement: “I swear to fucking god, if management doesn’t stop with their bullshit I’m not going to be able to get any of my fucking work done.” Profanity and disrespect of this nature will not be tolerated. Any grievance you may have had against management had multiple channels to be funneled through and taken care of by our wonderful and caring staff in the Human Resources Department.

Customer and client reviews also show you consistently receive nines out of tens and four out of five stars, with no review going lower than 7 or 3 respectively. We at Information Management Systems and Technology Corp. expect only the highest quality of work client relations and this cannot be tolerated.
Even more worrisome, we have been informed that you continue to eat gluten and meat products during your 15 minute lunch break after a nonmandatory seminar on the benefits of living a gluten free vegan diet, which you did not attend.
This decision is not reversable.
Please remember you have signed a nondisclosure agreement, a noncompete clause, a non-solicitation agreement, and a confidentiality policy. If you require copies of any of these documents a $5 dollar charge will be sent to your home by mail. If you have any questions regarding these documents, please contact our legal counsel.
Sincerely,
Steven Baker
Community Supervision Information System Counselor & Management Coordination Specialist M.F.A.

The Last Science
[This story is on a temporary hiatus due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I work in healthcare and unfortunately no longer have the freetime to continue posting on a regular basis. As soon as our workload decreases, I will return. Thanks for reading! 💙] No one ever knows the whole story. Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever—or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. Want this story in smaller bites? Click here! The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series, focused on the modern world with a twist. New societies bud and grow, but the people who make them up are imperfect and flawed. The story includes elements of mystery, action, crime, interpersonal drama, relationships, philosophy, sociology, politics, and much more, all centered on the perspective characters driving the tale.
