After being laid off
Work |
After being laid off from five different jobs in four months, Peter was hired by a warehouse. But one day he lost control of the forklift and drove it off the loading dock.
Surveying the damage, the owner shook his head and said he?d have to withhold 10 percent of Peter?s wages to pay for the repairs. ?How much will it cost?? asked Peter
?About $4,500,? said the owner.
?What a relief!? exclaimed Peter. ?I?ve finally got job security!?
