The job of guard
I met a difficult situation when I was working as a night-watch. A young girl who are working in a room at the building asked me to help because she was kicked out of the room by her male supervisor. It took two or three hours to solve the situation and she was able to get her belongings successfully and she got home. She asked me to keep secret because it was a shame for both her and her boss. And I kept secret completely. I didn't report to the building owner. Because of the incident I couldn't patrol two times in this hour I am supposed to do. I was fired for not patrolling properly. I am still proud of my not reporting to a building owner. I was fired because I was loyal to my job that was really what I should do. And I had just done it.

There is a quote from Babylon 5 that is always good to keep in mind:
ReplyDelete"I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."
Tricky one there. I'm glad that you didn't just act the 'jobsworth'.
ReplyDeleteHow long had you been a guard?
I have been fired for more than 7 times. This is not something that I'm proud of, but at the same time it's not what I am ashamed of. I don't obey what I believe it's against my policy.
ReplyDeleteI think I worked for one and a half year. I couldn't take enough sleep.
Still. One day not doing your job properly? They should have given you a warning.
