They Trusted AI Over Me

It took me three months to get our company retreat venue down to $200 a head.

All 120 people in the company thought it was a steal, and they couldn't stop telling me so.

Then Chloe, the new intern, tagged me in the company group chat.

"Ryan, Cookie says this lodge will do $150 a person. You quoted $200. Where did the other fifty go?"

Our boss decided on the spot: "Chloe's running the retreat."

And all hundred-plus people in the company decided I'd been taking kickbacks.

I stared at the screen and typed two words.

"Sounds good."
