That line "You're fired" in an organisation is what most employees never want to hear, especially if you work in an organisation where you're well-paid, doing what you have passion for and receiving good incentives, You're fired from an employer is dreaded in such organisation.
The feeling that you're irreplaceable may be a good feeling and mind you it's a shallow way to think you're irreplaceable the shocker line you're fired can be used for anyone.
One afternoon it was launch time and John had gone to the cafeteria to have launch, it was a time for relief for John, although John is faithful with his job, He made sure that He had launch when it's lunchtime and work while He works.
One of the lunch break while eating his meal, he received a call from the office about someone who wants to see him right away, He replied the saying "I will be back at the office after my break and the caller replied the person cannot wait for too long."
After the call John was tempted quickly round up his meal and attend to the customer at the office.
His first colleague noticed him trying to rush his meal and run back to the office, he simply asked.
Work never ends people get hired and gets fired no one is too high to be fired and no one is irreplaceable," work continues.
He quickly rushed his meal and made his way back to the office as briskly.
John loved his Job he was one of the most valuable in the office and His department would hardly survive without John He was never tired of working and gave his best to His job.
Other department in the office even depended on him to be able to create ideas that may be needed, he was one if the most valuable staff that the organization ever had.
He would be in the office before opening hours and come back late from work.
John had gotten to his office on a Monday, and the letter was waiting on His table when he opened the letter it was his termination of appointment. He made a mistake with figures and instead of using 5 million he used 500,000 although the situation was salvaged his job appointment was terminated to ensure the mistake is not repeated.
When he got to the office of his boss, his boss wouldn't even see him.
He got back home that same day only to find his wife having an affair with another man.
He remembered how work has taken him away from his family and how he has become so dedicated to his job that he lost most of His friends, good relationship with his wife, lack of time to care for himself he kindly drove away from home.
In a few weeks he was replaced with a younger staff in his organization.
Double tragedy I must say.

Thanks for reading through:
Am your original @prettyjules158.
Wow! This is tragedy first you were fired and then your wife having an affair all because you were too busy with the same work.
Well this is life for us, nothing lasts for ever either good or bad, make one mistake and you are fired or sacked, without considering what you have been able to achieve and have lost all because of your dedication to work.
Truly @prettyjules158 like you said "No is irreplaceable" but sometimes decisions like this could cost the organization as the victim could be hired by another company.
Thanks for the enlightenment as usual. The lady when sabi every every... I dey feeel yooou!
I think is one of the saddest words to hear apart from "goodbye".. Thanks for this and its is so true girl..you are just right on point @prettyjules158
Hmmmmmm it was indeed a double tragedy. Life is about balance, we have to work, we have to take care of ourselves and family. We should just try and keep it balance.
If he decides to finish his meals and go back to the office without hurry or pressure, it may also get fired for taking his work for granted, especially if the customer went without being adress to.
😨😱 now that a look at that:)
What john did, by being punctual and dedicated to his job was good, i didnt even know he had a wife.
What he should have done was to be hardworking, and at the same time set occassion to spend enough time with his wife, make her feel womanly and loved:)
Because of his commitment with work, his wife had an affair outside their home and which is bad:)😕😕
Very true, no matter the amount of time and dedication you give, anything can happen..
Blown away by this piece @prettyjules158 Great lesson learnt..thanks for sharing at this hour!!!:)
So after john lost both his wife and job what did he do?
Hey! Mr. John i feel your pain....in the process of working hard to take care of your family...you lose your wife to another man....we have to learn a lesson from Mr. John story......We should not place anything above our family and loved ones .......what if after making all the money you are left alone to enjoy it....
Think twince about it
Thanks @prettyjules158 for sharing this amazing post full of moral lessons
Double tragedy indeed.
No one Is in-expendable
The important thing is we should never stop leaning on to God,
He is the only one that won't let us go or let us down.
Buen post, @prettyjules158,la mayoria de las veces nadie espera recibir ese tipo de noticias, aunque existen personas que se alegran cuando son despedidas de los trabajos pues saben que les viene algo mucho mejor.
This is super, you really motivated me on this story, that no matter what u do, create time to urself, family and others comment.
But i am so happy and grateful that is dedication to service pay ways for him, meaning is good to be good that the is a blessing for that. Thanks a lot for this wonderful article @prettyjules158
telecommuting makes so much more sense to me than going to a building and waiting to be stabbed in the back.
I feel bad for John, this is also what happens to people, being so busy with work and neglecting the family, i look forth for the part 2 of the story.
How did john now end up?
Oh its very emotional i feel bad for john
Great post!
Thanks for tasting the eden!
Wow😱..amazing post mam @prettyjules158
Hmmmmm
Lesson learned from this...
Most men loose their family on their priority list... Making their job and business their number 1 priority.
Money is not everything, as work is not everything.
But family, is the only factor that speaks even when one is physically powerless... Work, rather, denies such physically ill one, even if such person is as valuable/ irreplaceable as the John is this story.
Family, need to be our top priority! And while not belittling the priority of work too...
We should manage work and family simultaneously, without one injuring the other.
Thank you @prettyjules158
I pity him
He love his job more than his family and then loose the job
That's a big lesson
Thanks for sharing
