What vital task did you not realize someone was doing regularly until they suddenly stopped?

Could be a partner, roommate, coworker, or somebody you volunteered with. They could have stopped for any reason from leaving, getting sick or hurt or even dying to just getting sick of doing that one thing and stopping.

Coworker of mine was handling hardware returns for our main data center. There were two issues with this: It wasn't his job and he never told anyone about it. Work fired him during his vacation because they saw he wasn't completing his assignments, but never asked him for reasons.

Six months later, the company got hit with over 200k in service plan renewals for hardware we no longer used.

Lmao, I hope you let him know after this happened.

Imagine being in a meeting with all the most important people when they figure out the problem and it turns out that you were the one who fired the guy. What I wouldn't give to listen in on that meeting lmao

You know they just blamed the dude they fired for doing things he wasn't asked.

This right here? ☝️

This is how "business" people save money.
