I ruined a meal worth 50k and was confused on what to do about it, it was so bad that it won’t be healthy to serve dogs.
I didn’t want the mangement to know about it because they will deduct it from my salary.
I was looking so confused and worried until my My kitchen assistant ask me why I was worried and told me we can secretly dispose it without anyone knowing, the kitchen cleaner concurred and said it was a perfect idea.
I thought about It for a moment and it sound like a great plan because unlike the kitchen in Abuja here in nassarawa state no camera in the kitchen so I agreed to it.
We joined the meat with other trash in the kitchen and the cleaner went and dispose it outside by dropping it into the big tank we pour all of the company trash.
I was making a fresh meal but I was restless.
My conscience will not allow me focus and I was just having Anxiety.
I didn’t want any of the kitchen staff to have a leverage over me that will make them direspect me tomorrow because of the secret they kept for me.
So I promise myself that I was going to talk to my boss about it after lunch, and I don’t mind it being deducted from my salary.
After preparing lunch, I walk to my Boss office and told him what I have done apologize and told him I am cool if he decide to deduct it from my salary.
He was listening to me explain myself and then told me I just save myself because he was about to call my people in Abuja.
He told me was bitter when he heard the news as he didn’t expect such a thing from me.
I didn’t understand what he was saying until he told me that my kitchen asistant came to report me earlier that I ruin all of the meat and secretly went to trash it out.
She even took a video as evidence.
I was shocked told him thank you and walk to the kitchen and never said a word to my kitchen asistant or try to pick a fight with her.
I am just happy I open up about my sin to the management and willing to take any punishment they give to me.
It would have been a thing of shame if I had not reached out to my boss not knowing someone else has already reported me.

What lesson did you gain from this story?
For me No1 : Never trust anybody. The truth is some colleagues are enemies that do not want your good, they are just there waiting for you to make one little mistake for them to devour you to pieces
No 2: Always have Integrity. Bawa displayed a high level of integrity by going to report himself to his boss, not many can do that especially after having a backing from his colleagues to cover up his mistake. Bawa knew that truth will definitely come out one day and he was not ready to spoil his brand name when that time comes. So he was prepared for the worst thing that could happen at the moment, which is salary deduction.
The fact is that , this act will make the boss to respect him more and he will gain their trust more.
Always have it in mind that in everything you do wether you hide to do it or not someone is watching if no man sees you God is seeing you. Do the right thing !!! SHALOM
