An executive thought she was indispensable, wanting to negotiate better terms with her boss, wrote a resignation letter and left it in her drawer. When the boss was about to pass by her desk, she opened the drawer wide to expose that letter. The boss was surprised but kept quiet. She thought the boss didn't notice it and repeated the action another day. This time, the boss said, "Give that letter to me. You may go."
