‘And [it] turned into a genuinely pleasant place to work’: Auto shop supervisor unjustifiably fires employee, ends up getting fired and old employee rehired instead

A young auto shop employee tries his best to keep his head down and do the best he can at his job. He was afraid he would be fired for no reason because the supervisor was notably ornery. Luckily, this observation gave him the idea to start taking down proof every time the supervisor did something shady. Then one day the exact thing happened that he thought would, he was fired and pay withheld. He knew exactly what to do! 

 

He went to the owner of the shop, who was more notably a standup guy. He showed him all the proof of what his hired supervisor was doing and urged him to investigate. The owner did just that and couldn't believe what he found! He not only fired the supervisor, using security to throw him out, but he also rehired the employee that ornery supervisor had unjustifiably fired.
