👩‍💼 The Protagonist: Ms. Vu Thi Ngoc Tu

Our leading lady, Ms. Tu, had been climbing the corporate ladder at Deutsche Bank AG's Ho Chi Minh City branch for a whopping 14 years. From securities custodian to Assistant Vice President, she was living the dream... until she wasn't. 😴💭💔

📅 The Timeline of Turmoil

• February 9, 2021: Employment contract terminated 🚫

💸 The Million-Dollar Question

Now, here's where it gets spicy! Tu wasn't just going to walk away. Oh no! She decided to sue the bank for a cool 37.6 billion VND ($1.6 million). But wait for it...

🚨 Plot Twist Alert 🚨 Of that eye-watering sum, a whopping 34 billion VND ($1.4 million) was for... drumroll please 🥁... emotional damages! Talk about putting a price on feelings! 😲

⚖️ The Courtroom Drama

2. Round 2: Tu appeals, hoping for a change of heart ❤️‍🩹
3. Final Showdown: Ho Chi Minh City People's Court

🎭 The Plot Thickens

🚫 Appeal REJECTED! 🚫

The judges ruled that:

• The bank's restructuring was legit
