My Coworker Got a $1 Million Year-End Bonus—Mine Was Only 30 Cents.

What would you do if seven years of hard work earned you a year-end bonus of just thirty cents? Ethan Carter had spent years building the technology behind Northstar Applied Systems, only to watch credit, promotions, and a $200,000 executive award go to someone else. Then one tiny deposit forced him to question everything he thought loyalty was supposed to mean.
