Rumpelstiltskin is a gnomelike person who spins straw into gold! Rumpelstiltskin’s payment is your first child for the gold produced!
Now you are not a gnome, and you are not a Rumpelstiltskin!
However, you did spin straw into gold for your employer and expected employment in return.
Well, Rumpelstiltskin didn’t get the child in the end and like Rumpelstiltskin, and even though you spun straw into gold for your employer, your employer had other plans.
So you have been Rumpelstiltskined!
