The story of the factory director. From the first person.
Have you ever had millionaires? No is? And I had one – just named hearts, not an employee. I worked in one capital of the Baltic state (with “our” side of the Baltic Sea). The plant belonged to a Scandinavian company and with tolerance, tolerance and attention to disabled people ("disabled people" to be politically correct) everything was on the go. This is how we worked with such a Gunnar.
We call him the truck driver. He was deaf. That is, not quite deaf – he did not hear, but could speak, indeed, the speech was not very discreet, as if in a tube, but everyone with whom he worked together understood him. The man is very diligent, friendly - a good worker, in general.
He had a wife – also deaf, and two daughters – hearing, one schoolgirl, the other was already working. The whole family lived in a hutor near the city. There was not much wealth, but they did not suffer. And here... this Baltic country joined the European Union. The good European Union decided to build good roads in this country. I allocated money for that. The roads were planned. Here is one of those roads, and it went as planned... right through the Houth of Gunnar and his family.
The European Commission arrived, determined compensation for people who lost their family nest... and after a certain time Gunar, as the head of the family, received no much or little – two and a half million euros on his bank account! He became a real millionaire.
In another, the roof would fall – but not in the strong Baltic hummer, who grew up with the consciousness that labor is everything. Gunnar did not leave his job and continued to drive his truck. The only thing that changed was that he started his business in parallel: he bought an evacuator and began to provide appropriate services to drivers who were in trouble on the same route that passed through his former hut. The calls are received by the daughters, and he drives the evacuator when he is not busy in the factory.
So, if someday (don’t give God, of course, but everything happens) you will have to call an evacuator on a trip through the Baltics, and the driver of that will be deaf – don’t be surprised, it’s a millionaire Gunnar.
