Courageous - A Difficult Decision on Team Loyalty
Mr. Tyson:
I trust you've had time to think about our conversation yesterday.
Javier Martinez:
Yes sir, I did.
Mr. Tyson:
And what did you decide? Are you on my team?
Javier Martinez:
Mr. Tyson, I am very grateful to have a job here. But I cannot do as you have asked.
Mr. Tyson:
And why is that?
Javier Martinez:
Because it is wrong sir. It would be dishonoring to my God and my family to lie on that report.
Mr. Tyson:
Do you understand what this may do to your job here?
Javier Martinez:
Yes, sir. I do.
Mr. Tyson:
Javier, may I shake your hand? Young man, you just gave me the right answer. I have been looking for someone to manage inventory and shipping, and quite frankly, you were the last person on my list. But I need somebody I can trust. Will you take the job? We'll adjust your pay.
Javier Martinez:
I would be honored to, sir.
Mr. Tyson:
Good. Then the job is yours. Now, Walter will go over all the specifics with you, and I'll make an announcement to the staff on Monday. Congratulations, Javier. Oh, and Javier, thanks for your integrity. It's rare.
Waiter:
Well done, Javier. After six times, I was getting discouraged.
