"I was shocked! The company's commercial manager was shocked aswell!

"The man I insulted in FB in 2021. It turned out that he was the production manager and even more powerful than the commercial manager, who brought me to the company.
"He used his influence in the company and made sure I Lost that business opportunity. A cruise comment (insults) I made in 2021, costed me a rare opportunity in 2022 and I am blacklisted in that company till date..."
