“Five hundred dollars for my year-end bonus. And you expect me to be grateful?” Brenda, the HR manager, managed to keep her corporate smile glued to her face. I’d been at this company for eight years. I had written over a million lines of code—1.27 million, to be exact—that powered three of our core systems. The bonus? Only five hundred bucks??? “Jenna, you have to understand the company’s current restructuring difficulties…” I laughed. I took a sheet of paper from my bag and laid it on the desk in front of her. My resignation letter. Dated today.
