Screwed over by The Man
We once made a flash animation for a record company. They told us it was brilliant and 30 staff gave us a round of applause. They asked us to stick it out without their name on it. Then their legal department sent us a cease and desist for infringing their copyright. How have you been screwed over?

Problem with this type of story
is it's always necessary for the reader to accept that anyone in a higher position to the storyteller has to be catstrophically stupid.
It also has to be accepted that length of service = a constant improvement in performance.
Neither of these are reliably true.
Although you are no doubt correct when you say it's not a bitter rant about being made redundant, it's definitely a bitter rant of some kind.

The Peter Principle explains it.
People in senior management positions generally are stupid.
