The Prank That Cost a Billion Dollars

On April Fools' Day, I received a promotion email.

I thought my five years of hard work had finally paid off—I was finally being promoted to Sales Director.

Full of joy, I moved my belongings to the door of my new private office.

But when I pushed open the door, there wasn’t even an office chair inside—just a pile of stinking garbage.

That’s when I heard loud mocking laughter from my colleagues behind me.

“Sasha, you actually fell for it? How pathetically shameless!”

My boss also chimed in, “It’s just an April Fools’ prank. You can take a joke, right?”
