I showed up at the casino an hour before my shift, wondering what was going on.

The email I’d received was a generic one from the pit boss, asking me to come in early. Usually, they only sent out emails like that if they wanted to discuss some bad behavior or new security measures.

But when I went to see the pit boss and asked him about the email, he just shrugged and told me that management wanted to talk to me.

I grabbed my security clearance pass and headed up to the forty-third floor, where the management offices were. I was supposed to see a man named Hamish Macaulay, who was apparently the Assistant Head of HR.

I’d never been to the Treasury Casino’s management offices, and they turned out to be quiet, mint-scented expanses of cubicles. When I asked to see Hamish, a stern-looking receptionist led me over to a small glass-walled office on one side of the floor.

Hamish turned out to be a short man with dirty-blond hair, who smiled at me warmly when I walked in.

“Tiffany Black,” he said. “I’m so glad to meet you in person.”

I looked at him suspiciously and murmured something polite as I sat down.

“You’re probably wondering why you’re here?”

I nodded.

“It’s about the email you sent us the other day,” said Hamish. “We’ve read it with a lot of interest.”

I felt my face coloring up. Perhaps I shouldn’t have sent that angry email—but I did mean everything that I’d said. “I just thought that perhaps you would never hear this perspective from Brian.”

Hamish nodded. “Many of us in management don’t have experience in the pit, which is why we appreciate your feedback. We’re always trying to encourage employees to tell us what we’re doing right and what we’re doing wrong.”

I had no idea where this was going, so I nodded politely. “I really enjoy working at the Treasury Casino,” I said.

“I’m glad to hear that,” said Hamish. “And I do believe you have the casino’s best interests at heart when you say that experienced dealers shouldn’t be forced to have weight management rules apply to them. I think you might be right—there is a case for making an exception.”

I looked at Hamish, taking a few seconds to process what he’d said. “So you’re not going to implement weight controls after all?”

Hamish shook his head. “It’s not as simple as that. We’ll require stringent weight controls for new dealers, and they’ll have to stick to the guidelines for the first couple of years that they work here. But you and many other dealers have been working here for a number of years, and your performance has been exemplary. The casino couldn’t perform as well as it does if it weren’t for our wonderful employees.”

“So what you’re saying is that weight controls won’t apply to existing employees.”

Hamish nodded. “Yes, as of today, we’re going to abolish weight controls for existing dealers. However, they will apply for new dealers.”

My entire body sagged with relief. “Wow. I never expected this.”
