Loyalty for Nothing

It was 26th May 2006. I was asked to leave the company for no logical reasons after 6 years of dedicated work. I know all the rules on this but at that moment I was like a zombie when they asked for my resignation letter. I gave them my letter and it was all over in 30 minutes. I was 45, I was jobless and I was not financially prepared for this.

I was in a good senior position. I was in the position of recommending IT hardwares for purchase and tender evaluation worth millions. I recommend payments to contractors and advise the management on related and unrelated issues. Many had offered bribes that is hard to resist. But I cannot live to think that all the foods and clothes my family consumes are all from dirty money. I took no bribes and declined these amazing offers. I only make necessary work related expenses claims from the company and I went out of my way and job scope to ensure works are completed as scheduled. However, my dedication and loyalty meant completely nothing. . .
