I’ve been a manager for almost 6 years. Thought I was fair. Maybe strict — but fair. Rules are rules, right?

That’s what I told myself last week when I fired one of my employees, Celia.
Her third tardy this month. Three strikes = termination. Simple.

She didn’t argue, just nodded, grabbed her bag, and left.

Later that day, I overheard two coworkers whispering:
“Did you hear about Celia’s son?”
“Yeah… she’s been sleeping in her car with him.”

My stomach dropped.

Turns out she’d been evicted. No family nearby. No support. Shelters full.
Those “tardies”? She was driving across town so her 6-year-old could shower at a church before school — so he wouldn’t be teased.

And I fired her for it.

I didn’t sleep that night. The next morning, I called. Texted. Nothing.
After hours of searching, I finally found her car parked behind a grocery store. Her little boy was curled up under a blanket in the back seat.

I knocked. She looked up — tired, scared.
“I came to give you your job back,” I said quietly.
“But more than that… I came because I should’ve listened. And I want to help.”

That moment changed everything for me.

Being a manager isn’t just about enforcing rules.
It’s about understanding the people behind them.

Celia didn’t need discipline.
She needed compassion. ❤️
