'You fire one of us, you fire all of us': Senior staff member fired for arriving late, coworkers band together to rehire the underappreciated worker

Since the job market is the one place where it is perfectly acceptable to look out for your best interests, it can prove to be a horrible place for the faint of heart. Your family's health and welfare should come first. Because of this, you will be taken aback by the story that follows, as workplace loyalty is rare and hard to come by.

The Original Poster (OP) works as a mechanic. Having worked for the same company for a few years, he was largely satisfied. That all changed, though, when one of the most respected employees in the company was let go after arriving late a single time. The staff was startled to learn that he had been dismissed for a single infraction because, as OP states, he was renowned for his punctuality.

Nevertheless, this is not the end of the story; more so, it is a story of friendship and unity. OP and the other members of the team decided that it was necessary to take matters into their own hands. They started showing up late for work every morning until the management lost patience and decided to give the recently fired employee a second chance.

So, if you're curious as to what transpired and whether the employees were able to change the manager's mind about how important it is to be on time for work, be sure to read the story below! After you're done reading, don't forget to check out the story of the underappreciated worker who stood his ground when the employer pursued him for leaving to pursue greater chances elsewhere!
