In one prior company
my position had partially been
to root out scams
that customers were pulling,
so when they fired me
(I felt) unjustly,
I was in an excellent position
to consider scams against them.
The details are irrelevant
but run something like this:
buy lots of tickets for their multiple products
across different lines of business,
then collect among them the common winning elements
which they had not created a rule
that you could not mix and match across.
Since nobody knew that Product X
and Product C were sold by the same body
no one else knew to combine them to get a winning bingo
except a couple of notable folks.
I was a notable folks
and I would win prizes on a regular basis
for a reasonable amount of time
while I was unfairly unemployed
and even afterward into my next job.
It made me feel better about myself
when I felt like I’d been taken advantage of.
It felt like things were being evened out.
If but I had such hidden knowledge
in my current situation.
