Employee Saves Child From Kidnapper, Instead Of Promotion Gets This Letter Saying He’s Fired


This guy from Portland, Oregon just lost his job at Home Depot for violating company policy, which doesn’t sound like such a big deal until you realize that the reason he broke the rules was because he was stopping a child from getting kidnapped!

“At the time, the only thing I was thinking about was the child’s safety,” said 32-year-old Dillon Reagan, who had worked at the Mall 205 store for four years before he was bizarrely dismissed for his heroics. “I stepped outside and sure enough, there’s this lady who’s frantic and crying, ‘Somebody help me please! He’s stealing my kid, he’s kidnapping my child!’”

Reagan and a colleague called the police and then, on the advice of the dispatcher, they followed the man on foot until the police arrived. After giving their statements, Reagan said they returned to the store around 10 minutes later, but the next day he was surprised when his supervisor scolded him for “doing the wrong thing.” A month later the company fired him for breaking the company’s safety policy, and even though they’ve since reversed their decision (possibly in light of media attention), Reagan says he isn’t sure if he wants to reclaim his job given the unfair treatment he’s received. What would you do? Let us know in the comments below. (h/t: KGW)
This is Dillon Reagan. He recently stopped a child from getting kidnapped while he was at work

But instead of a promotion, his employer, Home Depot, dismissed him for violating company policy! he wrote on Facebook

I wouldn't go back to work for the company that responded like that. Might find a better gig at a locally owned Ace/True Value or something

[Louie Detroit]

Most likely the store is run by the typical democrat with short eyes. So many of them appear to be rock spiders.

[Bill]

You'd think somebody in the local store management would simply ask the employee to keep quiet about leaving the store to help the police stop the kidnapper, in a "don't ask, don't tell" type of situation.

I mean, hey, Home Depot won't want their employee's involvement in stopping the crime publicized, I get that. Any manager with a brain would have just asked the employee to not talk to the news media, since it happened on the clock, and that would be that.

[MTPZ06]

I'd hire him if I could.

2017

He was reinstated by corporate, given back pay and a no-retaliation promise.

[theandies]

Sue the shit out of them.

[MTPZ06]

I understand following policy at large companies, but this wasn't a thwarting theft of store assets scenario, this was a child abduction situation.

2017

Does that mean it didn't happen?

[Yadkin]

There's a lot missing in this story, even at the link.

[Torqaholic]

Wasn't corporate who caused him to lose his job, it was his back stabbing supervisor. If they got rid of that POS the hero would probably go back to work there.

[slewfoot]

Sue the shit out of them.

Wouldn't happen, most national stores have this policy and it is drilled into them just like shoplifting. Let them go right out the door. You interfere in any way, you're fired.

Yeh he did the wise and right thing but............

[LATB]

Good people don’t make every decision based on money.

[donuts]

Damn, there’s goes another work business I can’t shop at any longer.

A guy walks into a bar, notices a very large jar on the counter, and sees that it's filled to the brim with $10 bills.

He guesses there must be thousands of dollars in it.

He approaches the bartender and asks, "What's up with the jar?"

"Well, you pay $10 and if you pass three tests, you get all the money..."

The man certainly isn't going to pass this up. "What are the three tests?"

"Pay first. Those are the rules," says the bartender. So the man gives him the $10 and the bartender drops it into the jar.

"O.K.," the bartender says. "Here's what you need to do:

First, you have to drink an entire gallon of pepper tequila, the whole thing, all at once and you can't make a face while doing it.

Second, there is pit bull chained up out back with a sore tooth. You have to remove the tooth with your bare hands.

Third, there's a 90 year old woman upstairs who has never reached orgasm during intercourse. You've got to make things right for her."

The man is stunned. "I know I paid my $10, but I'm not an idiot! I won't do it. You have to be nuts to drink a gallon of pepper tequila and then do those other things!"

"Your call," says the bartender, "but your money stays where it is."

As time goes on the man has a few drinks, then a few more, and he asks, "Where's zat tequila?"

He grabs the gallon with both hands and downs it with a few big slurps. Tears are streaming down both cheeks, but he doesn't make a face.

Next, he staggers out back where the pit bull is chained-up and soon the people inside the bar hear a huge, noisy scuffle going on outside.

They hear the pit bull barking, the guy screaming, the pit bull yelping and then silence.

Just when they think the man surely must be dead, he staggers back into the bar with his shirt ripped and large bloody scratches all over his body.

"NOW," he says, "Where's the old woman with the sore tooth?"
