Congratulations! You’ve Been Fired
APRIL 9, 2016 The New York Times By DAN LYONS

She was 35, had been with the company for four years, and was told without explanation by her 28-year-old manager that she had two weeks to get out. On her last day, that manager organized a farewell party for her. It was surreal, and cruel, but everyone at HubSpot acted as if this were perfectly normal. [ "passé" hypothétique ]

we were “rock stars”
[

suivi d'un passé temporel actif ]
who were “inspiring people” and “changing the world,”
but in truth we were
disposable.
