Boss Unfairly Demotes Single Dad of 2 to Janitor, a Day Later Their Places Are Switched – Karma Story

Steve fell in love with a top executive, Roseanne, at work, angering his angry boss, who decided to demote him illegally. However, Roseanne did something that could’ve ruined her career and changed Steve’s life.

“We shouldn’t do this,” Roseanne told Steve, shaking her head. But her eyes and her big smile told another story. In her heart, she knew she didn’t want to stop what was happening between her and Steve.

“Why not? There’s no rule about this in the employee handbook. I checked,” Steve said, getting closer to her in the employee break room.

“I’m your superior, Steve. It’s morally wrong. My bosses would frown at it,” she added weakly.

“If it hurts your career, I’ll back away. But Rosie, I haven’t felt this way since… well, it’s been many years,” he said, stepping away from one of the top executives at the tech company. He didn’t want to, but he loved her. He didn’t want anything bad to happen to her.

However, Steve wanted them to be together because he hadn’t loved anyone else since his wife, Mona, died several years ago. She left behind their two children, and Steve had been focused on raising them as best he could alone.

He had even gotten this great job and tried to rise on the ranks despite the uncalled-for attitude of his boss, Mr. Mullins, who seemed to hate Steve with a passion. However, Steve didn’t care. He was earning good money and did his best, but he couldn’t help but fall in love with Roseanne.

She was funny and brilliant, and her ambition was remarkable. She was also so sweet and didn’t look down on anyone below her in the company hierarchy. She was one of a kind.

“Oh, to hell with it,” Roseanne muttered out of the blue and jumped into Steve’s arms, giving him a passionate kiss despite their unromantic setting. Neither of them expected the loud throat clearing that came next.

“Mr. Mullins,” Steve said, breathless when he separated from Roseanne. “I’m sorry, sir. I was…”

He had no idea what to say, but Roseanne stepped in. After all, she was way above Mr. Mullins in the company. “Excuse us, Richard. We did something naughty. Nothing to see here, though. Let’s all go back to work,” she stated, winked at Steve, and left.

Steve followed her out of the break room, but she went to the elevator while he went to his cubicle. A few minutes later, he was called to Mr. Mullins’ office, which couldn’t be good news.

“Mr. Hall, what I just saw in the break room was unacceptable,” his boss began, crossing his fingers on his desk and grinding his teeth for some reason.

“I don’t care for your excuses. You’re officially demoted from now on and will start working as a… ugh… janitor,” Mr. Mullins said, hesitating for a second.

“Demoted to a janitor? That’s not even legal!” Steve scoffed.
