Way too perfect. At the end, all of his coworkers get transferred to other places in the company to do translation work, for the same pay? Uh huh. The only thing this kid did is spin a good yarn and rack up a ton of reddit karma.
Between this and the passing out at 10, I'm more and more of a grumpy, cynical old man...
Not all of the coworkers kept their jobs. The good ones did.
It's often cheaper to transfer someone in a company to a new job than it is to hire a new person. If they had openings at the company, why not just move people from a job that doesn't need to be done anymore?
Of course, it's also possible that this isn't true.
