Worker Saves the Life of a Stranger on Their Commute, Ends Up Getting Fired for Being 1 Hour Late to Work

Folks like to stick to themselves on their commute– especially if you take public transit. But when there's an emergency and a person's life is at risk, the "first responders" always end up being the calloused strangers that we're accustomed to ignoring. Have you ever considered how you might handle an emergency? Anything can happen on public transit. With so many people filtering in and out of the metro every day, there's bound to be an accident at some point.

This is exactly why OP in our next story is an unsung hero. Keeping their CPR and First Aid certifications up to date, OP was ready for anything in the real world. One day, while taking their usual commute to work, their preparedness came in handy. However, even after saving the life of a stranger on board their commuter train, OP's boss didn't agree with their life-saving endeavors. 

Scroll for all the details of injustice and backlash where a heroic act of selflessness ultimately got someone fired.
