The Machine Fired Me

When my contract expired, the machine took over and fired me.
A simple automation mistake(feature) caused everything to collapse. I was escorted out of the building like a thief, I had to explain to people why I am not at work, my coworkers became distant (except my manager who was exceptionally supportive). Despite the great opportunity it was for me to work at such a big company, I decided to take the next opportunity that presented itself.

(puts on Dumbledore-like hat that has “PHILOSOPHIA” written on it): One wonders who truly was the Machine, and whether it is our destiny to become just cogs in it.
