'Both companies had now cancelled their contracts': Employee gets fired after addressing manager's incompetence to HR, company loses a ton of business

Be careful who you fire, people! 

This employee was singlehandedly responsible for the business of two major clients for his company, and when he was unceremoniously dismissed for no good reason, it backfired in a major way. First, the employee had become suspicious that his new manager had some personal connection to the higher-ups at the company after she was swiftly promoted despite not being capable enough to fulfill her prior responsibilities in any way.

When morale tanked at the company, HR organized what was supposed to be a safe meeting where employees could air their grievances about work dynamics. Unfortunately for the Redditor, when he revealed his true thoughts about his manager's incompetence, he ended up being on the company equivalent of a naughty list.
