Be coming a lawyer.

University or work.

I am done with Social Science after 3 years of torture. Now, I can finally go to university, but I do not think I have enough money to be a full-time student. My parents are not going to be able to pay for me. I already know that I can not be a full-time student while working. I need to make a choice.

Choice 1 : Start university.

Choice 2 : Take a year off to save money.

Two ways

Take a year off to save money.

I decided to take a year off. I need to make the most money possible for university, that is why I applied to three different worksites. I got an offer for all of them! I applied as an internship in a law firm because I think that it could be really useful, but this job might be way too demanding. I also applied in restoration and in a clothes store. All those job offer are amazing! But after reflexion, I am not going to work for a law firm. Which job should I chose?

Choice 1 : Work for Buffet des continents.

Choice 2 : Work for JD Sports.

Choice 3 : Work for the law firm.

Money

Work for Buffet des continents.

I decided to work for Buffet des continents and, it is the worst decision I have ever made! At the beginning, everything was okay, and I really thought that I was doing great. My boss Amelia wanted to make all my shift sound like hell. She putted me in the kitchen knowing that I did not apply to make this kind of Job. I do not want to continue. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Keep working for Buffet des continents.

Choice 2 : Quit Buffet des continents.

work for buffet des continents

Keep working for Buffet des continents.

I really thought about quitting, but after reflexion, I decided to keep the job. As I expected, my relationship with my boss did not improve. She also made Lina work in the kitchen, and the worst part is that the boss knows that Lina is a Muslim, but she still made her cut a pig. The boss finally told me that I could serve a table. I do not want to listen to her anymore. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Listen to my boss, and go to serve the table.

Choice 2 : Quit Buffet des continents.

keep working

Listen to my boss, and go to serve the table.

I listened to her, and while I was going at the table my heart dropped. I was so shocked! I knew that Amelia had a lot of bias towards me, but not at this point. I really thought that she was slowly accepting my existence, but it turns out that she wanted to humiliate me. In the table, there was a bunch of Emo people dressed in evil stuff. I understood that the reason why she made me serve them was because nobody wanted to do it. As I was bringing their receipts one of them took out his gun, and he shot me between the eyes.

Choice 1 : Go to the beginning

serve

No, I am not taking the offer.

I decided to refuse this opportunity. I think that it is seriously time for me to start university. I should not forget what was my purpose, by going to work instead of going to university. Or maybe, I could do an intern for a law firm. I am so confused right now, what should I do?

Choice 1 : Start university.

Choice 2 : Apply for a law firm.

no

Work for JD Sports.

I chose to work for JD Sports. Every day, I feel so grateful to work here. My colleagues are amazing and funny, and they do not seem to have bias towards me. I sometimes have to endure bad customers, but it is a part of my job. Even if it is a shoe and clothing store, I am paid the average wage. I still get 40% off everything in the store, so it is not too bad. After eleven months in this company, my boss asked me if I wanted to be a manager. It is almost time for me to continue my studies. What should I say?

Choice 1 : Yes, I am taking the offer!

Choice 2 : No, I am not taking the offer.

work for jd

Yes, I am taking the offer!

I was supposed to save money for a year before I return to my studies, but I feel like I could work with this company until I die. This job is not too overwhelming and as a manager, I get amazing deals. Next week, I am going to be in charge of a team! That is so exciting!

Choice 1 : Go to next week.

take the offer

Go to next week.

Now, it is my time to demonstrate how responsible I am! I am doing a long shift of 8 am to 9 pm. The morning was really calm and everything was good, until a group of man enter the store with guns in their hands. They wanted to take everything! They pointed the gun at me, and asked me where was all the money. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Tell them and show them where is the money.

Choice 2 : Say nothing and act crazy.

gun

Tell them and show them where is the money.

I told and showed them where the money was. I even helped them put it in the bag. Sorry, if I care about being alive. I do think that my life is more valuable than this company. Nobody saw me help them so there is no evidence of what I did, since they broke the few cameras this store had. One of the men asked me if I was single. What should I respond to him?

Choice 1 : Yes, I am single.

Choice 2 : No, I have a boyfriend (lie).

yes or no

Yes, I am single.

I decided to be honest, so I responded to him that I was single. He told me that I could escape with him to be his girlfriend and that he was going to take good care of me. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Escape and be his girlfriend.

Choice 2 : Ignore what he said.

single

Escape and be his girlfriend.

It does not take me much to fall in love with someone, so I told him that I would love this idea. Since they needed to escape, I helped them, and we organized my kidnapping, so I could live forever with him in peace. The police never caught them, and I am still missing to many people. I am living my best life in Punta Cana!

Choice 1 : Go to the beginning!

escape

Say nothing and act crazy.

I decided to say nothing and act crazy. The man who was holding the gun shot five times in my thighs. I lost too much blood! I was feeling dizzy, and the last words I heard were “Cooperate or the rest of you are going to be like her.” It was too late for me to be helped. I slowly closed my eyes. Maybe, it will be better next time, with another life.

Choice 1 : Go to the beginning.

act crazy

Start university.

I chose to return to my studies.

Choice 1 : Go to McGill University.

Choice 2 : University of Montreal.

university

Apply for a law firm.

I decided to apply to the same law firm that accepted me last year, but they told me that they did not have any vacant position. After in-depth research, I found a law firm that needed employee. They told me that if I accepted to work for them, I should not expect a premium wage. I think that it is a dead- end job, but I am still going to try.

Choice 1 : Work for the law firm.

apply

Work for the law firm.

I started my new job last week, and it felt like a test drive of the real word. They did not go easy on me, they just thrown me into a deep end. I had to learn the ropes of a secretary all by myself, since Chacha the other secretary did not really wanted to help me. I do not really know what is her problem with me, but she definitely has one. I am just going to ignore her!

Choice 1 : Ignore Chacha.

law

Ignore Chacha.

I really thought that Ignoring Chacha would have been better for me, and for my mental health, but it hindered the process I was making. This girl is just crazy! I never thought about getting sucked up in office politics, I guess I did talk to fast. Chacha and the other’s colleagues kept undermining me. The also kept withholding important information from me. More often than not, Chacha and Monica were playing bad tricks on me. Should I report them to HR?

Choice 1 : Report them to HR.

Choice 2 : Do not report them to HR.

ignore

Report them to HR.

I decided to report them to HR. I had enough of their childish behavior! The Human Resources thanked me for speaking up. They also told me that they were going to investigate the misconduct. This job might be a dead-end, but maybe knowing the ins-and-outs of a law firm will come in handy. What should I do know?

Choice 1 : Quit the law firm.

report

Quit Buffet des continents.

I decided to leave Buffet des continents, I need another job, Where am I going to apply?

Choice 1 : Apply for a law firm.

Choice 2 : Apply for JD Sports.

work

Apply for a law firm.

I decided that after those bad experiences with Buffet des continents, that I could work for a law firm. After I applied, they contacted me the next day. They needed a trainee and offered on-the-job training. Of course, I accepted! I saw this experience as a foot in the door for new opportunities. This job came with a lot of compensation packages. Even if I was paid premium wage, I still asked to do overtime’s. It is now time for me to continue my studies.

Choice 1 : Start university.

Quit the law firm.

I guess that the law firms were not for me. I saved enough money to be able to start university. So, let’s start!

Choice 1 : Start University.

quit

Do not report them to HR.

I decided to not report them to HR. I am so tired of everything. Angelo is dreading me! He is always trying to flirt with me, even if I told him that it was really inappropriate and unprofessional. I became the recipient of stares. The perpetrator was not planning to stop. I was afraid that calling out his misconduct was going to make everything worse. Chacha was telling to others that I was having inappropriate conversation with Angelo, and that I even went in his house knowing that he had a wife. I cannot continue like that, HR did nothing for me. I know what am I going to do, do you want to know?

Choice 1 : I do want to know.

Choice 2 : I am afraid that you are still going to tell me what you did.

sexual harrasement

I do want to know.

I've done something that some people would say that it is the unthinkable or the irreparable. I Killed myself after being oppressed by my colleagues. I really thought that I could surpass it, but I do not have a strong mind. In another life, I wish everything was different, and that I was loved by others.

Choice 1 : Go to the beginning

nope

I am afraid that you are still going to tell me what you did.
