None of the rhetoric inflation involved is the fault of this unfairly fired guy but it is an unfortunate sign of today.
Based on what the article says who knows, that job might have been the first thing he did that his parents were proud of:
"Roy Jones freely admits he’s far from saintly. He spent time in Boys Town as a teenager. He developed drug and alcohol dependency issues before graduating from high school, and eventually got three DUIs as a young adult. He bounced aimlessly from job to job.
But the Marriott job was different, he said. In his 18 months there, he had been promoted once, then given a raise, as superiors rewarded his skill and hard work.
His mother was proud to tell her friends that her son worked for a big hotel chain."
B) Your life is made more convenient daily by people who do jobs that you don't want to. This guy has the nerve to _like_ his job and that bothers you?
The article states that the guy had a rocky background and then the job had quickly brought him newfound accomplishment—but even if he was the heir to a major bank and a Mensa member, why can't he enjoy what he's chosen to do?
I wish him well, and I hope someone who wants a good employee notices his availability.
