Secret recording
Realizing the significance of what he was hearing, John quietly got out his phone and began filming the exchange. Each remark his boss uttered, unconscious that it was being recorded, felt like ammo in John’s hands. This data was unexpected but has the ability to change the game. It could be the key to exposing the wrongdoing and defending oneself.

After what seemed like a lifetime, John’s boss concluded the call and, collecting his coat, left the office, likely for lunch. John waited for the sound of footsteps to fade before leaving his tiny refuge. The office felt strangely quiet now, in stark contrast to the stress of minutes before. With the coast clear, John headed outside, the taped conversation weighing on his mind.
