For most of his working life he had been a dedicated employee.
For twenty-seven years he’d been with the company, working in their large production facility. He was always on time never arrived late, never left early, and rarely took sick leave. He did the cleaning, sweeping on the workshop floor, and spent most of his time cleaning the toilets. There were a lot of them. He dealt with the terrible smells, the slippery floors, and the complaints from staff when they have to be temporarily closed for cleaning. All of these issues he handled in a most polite and professional manner. However, all these ongoing problems paled into insignificance compared with the issue that he confronted every Friday.
On this day each week, he made his way down to the large noticeboard fixed to the wall near the main offices at the far end of the building. It was titled, ‘Employee of the Month’.
His name was never on it!
