Sabotage - a story of futility #2

Steve walked slowly from the office. His brain was a little scrambled and he took it slow. The secretary smiled, “How did it go?”

Steve managed, “I think I got the job.”

The gal Friday nodded, “Of course you did sir.” She handed him a leather envelope embossed with Sabotron’s logo. “This is your compensation package. It outlines salary, including bonus incentives, benefits, sick days, etc. There’s also a non-compete contract and an NDA (non-disclosure agreement).”

Steve opened the envelope when he got back to his tiny hovel of an apartment. He shuffled past the NDA and the Non Compete and he breezed over the benefits. Full medical plus dental and eye care. It even covered counseling sessions. Three weeks vacation. Salary: $250,000.

“That couldn’t be right,” he thought. Steve read it again. The number didn’t change. He looked for assistance again. What had he gotten into?
