I recently saw a video from Dahr Mann about a janitor. He worked in an office cleaning on a daily basis. Three other men worked there. One of them was an incredible bully. He would make fun of the janitor, throw trash on the floor, dump his coffee on the floor and in general was rude. One of the men didn’t think it was funny. One day he spoke to the janitor and apologized to him for his co-workers’ behavior. He told him that his father had been a janitor. The clearner responded, “Then why didn’t you stand up for me? They treat me with a complete lack of respect and belittle me and my position?” The workmate had no answer until one day he couldn’t take the bullying of the cleaner any more. The bully was also mean to him and even threatened him. Within a few days a supervior arrived to inspect the offices. She applauded the janitor for keeping the offices so clean. Then it began. The bully began belittling the cleaner but the co-worker instantly stood up for him. The bully denied that he had been so cruel and made messes. His compadre couldn’t take it and broke under pressure admitting the workmate had indeed made messes and humiliated the janitor. The bully told the janitor he had missed the restrooms and ordered him to clean them to try to deflect from himself. The supervisor was not buying it and ordered them all to the restroom which was indeed a terrible mess with trash everywhere. When she asked the bully about it he denied it but now the weak co-worker admitted that he had indeed made a mess on purpose to humiliate the janitor. Not only was the bully fired but he was ordered to clean up the mess. In addition, she gave the cleaner two weeks paid holiday. It is wrong to belittle anyone who is in a lower end of the employment spectrum. Everyone does a job that is necessary. For example, a computer tech keeps everything going for a company. Without him or her none of the employees would be able to work, products and services wouldn’t be sold, and the companies would fall appart. Look at all the cleaners in an airport. They perform a good service to keep everything clean and functioning, don’t you agree? The Good Gus Series is available online at Kindle, Nook and Waterstones.
