What goes around comes around

Where I sit at work has a direct view into the glass-walled CEO’s office, and today I witnessed a guy being sacked and escorted from the premises through those very glass walls.

It was exciting to watch, yet also unnerving. If you work somewhere for long enough your colleagues become good friends and the respect you have for being paid to perform a job slowly ebbs away.

Watching the drama unfold today raised my fear of not pleasing people: I would hate to be publicly humiliated like that, I would also hate to do something so wrong it caused me to be perceived a failure.

Silly, silly boy. As my grandmother used to say ‘be sure your sins will find you out'.

Based on my own experiences last year, they sure will, but I’ll save that story for another day.
