💔 THESE JOBS DONT CARE
#DemarcusLittle worked at USPS in Atlanta. He called his girlfriend on his break eating his lunch in PERFECT CONDITON, with no known health issues.
Demarcus later told his manager, that he wasn't feeling well and wanted to go home, but was told to return to work or GET FIREDDDD.. A short time later, he was reported unconscious and UNALIVE💔
If medical help had been provided right away or if emergency services had been called as soon as he reported feeling unwell, instead of FORCING HIM TO WORK🤦🏾♂️???!!?
Also, dating a married man and hiding behind, “He knows he’s married, it’s not my fault,” doesn’t make you innocent or an exception. You’re still playing a role in someone else’s pain. You deserve to be held accountable because how do you willingly allow yourself to be used to help break a family and hurt innocent people?#polygamist
Aaron Tucker had been out of prison for seven days. He had less than $2 in his pocket and one shot at turning his life around, a job interview that morning. Then he saw a car flip over and catch fire from his bus window.
He asked the bus driver if he was going to help. "No, but if you get out I'm going to leave," the driver replied. Tucker got out anyway.
He sprinted toward the upside-down, smoke-filled car and found the 61-year-old driver covered in blood.
He unbuckled the man's seatbelt and dragged him clear as the car started to catch fire.
He pulled off his own dress shirt and used it to stop the man's head wound from bleeding, telling him: "You're going to be all right. Your family wants to see you. Keep your eyes open."
The bus left. Tucker missed his interview.
When the story got out, strangers set up a GoFundMe that raised over $50,000 in three days. He also received multiple job offers in construction.
"I feel like a job can come and go, but a life is a one-time thing," Tucker said. "The job just wasn't in my mind at that time."
