This is a True life story.........

Jones left His comfort zone and decided to go as far as Lagos, Nigeria from Jos, plateau state to hustle, start afresh and make it big in life. Arriving Lagos he squatted with his uncle, not having what to do he resulted to labourer work and ends 3k daily, Jones needed money and so he cuts grasses too so the money will pile up to a reasonable amount.

Jones does not frequently get even the labourer work or grass cutting, and gradually starts becoming a liability to his uncle who never foresaw him staying that long and without earning. Jones resulted to looking for a security job that has an accommodation just so he will leave his uncles house and the troubles it brings. The harder he tries the harder it gets in finding a job.

Jones stayed for good 6months without a job, even the security job he has so hunted, finally he got someone who was traveling home for Holidays in December to stand for till the person returns. Jones gladly went with the hope he might get his before the person is back or immediately the person is back.

Just as Jones thought, he got his own security job immediately the person returned to take back his job, Jones was lucky because he got the kind of security job he wanted, which gives him weekends free, and so he planned to gather money from the security job and start a driving school to take up Uber instead of being a security, as it is not for people with vision and lots of responsibilities.

But Gradually Jones becomes comfortable with his security job because he was treated well and taken good care of by the Law Firm he worked for, so he neglected saving and enrollment in driving school, little did he know his boss was planning for him.

On a faithful day, mid of the 4th month of the year, Jones was called to the office where he was told to leave the work. Jones broke down and asked if there was something he did wrong, but his boss replied " You have not done anything wrong to me nor other staffs, but my conscience pricks me everytime I see you by the gate, opening the gate for me. You are meant to be bigger than this, you have a bright future and what is a Great passion, follow your dreams and passion, this particular job is demeaning to you that is why I have releaved you of it."

"But I was not complaining, I really need this job sir" Jones said, but his boss replied again.

"I know you are not complaining, and that is because you have become too comfortable here that you have become lazy, keeping you here will only make you more comfortable and you will not be able to realize your purpose or pursue it, Go and discover yourself and become the great man you are destined to become." And so Jones was completely stranded without where to go, as his uncle has been recruited in the Nigerian police force outside Lagos state.

This Became The Beginning Of Jones Misery In Lagos.

QUESTION: Was Jones Boss right to relieve Jones of his work that way, without atleast a month's notice? And was his reason justified?
