Subhuman Resources 5

I woke up very early, nervous and somewhat ashamed of having done everything I did the day before, I opened my closet and saw it was empty.

I spent the morning looking for jobs on the internet, I had to find a way to quit that strange job that, even without being accepted, had already caused me so many humiliations.

I didn't find any online offers for someone my age. Time was passing very quickly. When I looked at the clock, it was already four in the afternoon and I hadn't eaten anything.

I went out to buy myself an instant soup and a soda, and when I returned, I received a message on my cell phone: "Your medical exams turned out very well, you have been approved, tomorrow present yourself at 5:00 AM at the corporate office. Wear sports clothes and get ready for a two-week retreat training."

I filled with anguish, I didn't want to go to that retreat and I didn't want that job. I called Libardo but he didn't answer, I tried to call Pablo but he didn't respond either. I sent a message to his cell phone but didn't get a response. I drafted a resignation letter but didn't send it... I printed it to take with me the next day.

I spent the night awake thinking about what I would say to Pablo the next day, I studied my words with great attention and the hours passed very quickly... when I looked at the clock, it was four in the morning...

Something inside me, perhaps Libardo's voice, perhaps my own need, made me prepare my suitcase for two weeks of training. I dedicated a few minutes to sending money to my ex-wife and to notify her that I would be out of the city for two weeks.

I took a bath and ordered a car to take me to the corporate office, I was still on the way when the urge to return home assaulted me... I arrived five minutes before the hour.

At the entrance of the company, a van was already waiting for us.

"Welcome Hugo," said Libardo, smiling, well installed in his role as director of human resources.

"Do I get on the van?" I asked, sketching a smile to try to hide my fears.

"Not yet, let's wait for everyone to arrive," said Libardo in a friendly tone.

Two of my coworkers were already with Libardo: Renán, the accounting assistant, a 35-year-old blond and tall man, slender and athletic, with a very thin face. Renán was the typical coworker who took his responsibility very seriously, I had heard that he was a fan of extreme sports.

The other was Jimeno, a 32-year-old man, dark-skinned and of short stature, with a very athletic build. He usually worked in the cleaning area and was the person who solved all the problems in the office facilities.

After a while, Ulises arrived, panting, he came running; Ulises always smiled, regardless of the circumstances, he was like a big-hearted child with an adult body.

The last to arrive was Yahir, the young man who had given me a blowjob in the office, very tall with a baske...
