2017, H. Như & Thuy Diem, “Chỉ khi bị sếp ‘đì’, tôi mới hiểu ra lý do nghỉ việc của các nhân viên cũ [Only when ‘bullied’ by my boss did I understand why ex-employees had resigned]”, in nghenghiep.vieclam24h.vn:1 tháng sau khi nghỉ việc, tôi mới biết được lý do mình bị ‘đì’ khiến tôi phải chủ động xin nghỉ. Thì ra ‘sếp’ muốn đưa thằng em họ mới tốt nghiệp đại học vào vị trí của tôi nhưng không tiện ép tôi thôi việc. Thế nên mới dùng trò đó để khiến tôi tự động rút lui còn ‘sếp’ thì đỡ mang tiếng ác.- One month after quitting, I found out at once why I was bullied and thus had to intentionally quit. It turns out that my boss wanted to put his younger cousin, who had just graduated from university, in my position but could not just conveniently pressure me to give it up. So he resorted to such trickery so I would automatically resign while my boss would not earn an ‘evil’ reputation.
