Summary: Nelly leaves her job
Notes: Constructive criticism is, as always, welcome


Nelly’s eyes open wide when she hears her colleagues gossip – talking about everybody (even about those who are still present) and not caring if they’d hurt people.


During lunch break she lets her head rest on her arms, on her desk – the headache getting worse.


She takes a deep breath, the cup of tea warming her hands – it prevents them from trembling.


Her chair falls on the ground with a loud bang, making everybody look up – surprised faces when they see the anger on hers.


Nelly slams the door when she leaves – not bothered at all by the fact she’ll probably be fired.


Rafael’s arms are safe when she cries herself to sleep that night.

Ugh, hostile work environments. I want to really give Nelly a hug. Why are these people so terrible? No wonder Nelly wants to leave.

Isn't a Miniature supposed to be 100 words or less, though? I'm a little confused.

I feel for Nelly. Gossipy workplaces can be unbearable.

Yeah, I'd quit that job too. Hostile work environments are NOT worth it.
