I’ll give a very simple job security lesson.

A small resort I worked for had a guy that had been there from the very beginning. He knew where every single water line was on the entire resort. A map was never made of those water lines.

When a new general manager was hired years later, he wanted to fire the guy who always showed up late for work, and was considered lazy. The owner of the of the resort said, “you can’t fire him, he’s the only one that knows where all the water lines are”.

Job security boys,job security.



This is the strategy that failed when the TFA's author was fired 48 hours after the system was rolled out.
