After months of no replies, you are fired for "lack of initiative".

Unless you went ahead and did it, and then you get fired for "too much initiative".

You have to find just the right amount of initiative.

My DEX modfier is +2 and get another +2 from being a bard, is +4 too high?

If it made the boss feel inadequate, then yes - dial that shit back, maybe pretend to attempt to roll but then trip (while actually aiming to just trip), roll for constitution to avoid damage. Taking ego damage is unavoidable in that case, except getting to keep the job more than balances it out:-).

And congratulations - you just leveled up! Now you get to do 1.1x your previous workload, for 1.00x your previous pay.:-( Although when all your friends at work get let go, you get to stay.

Make sure you don't roll too high or too low.
