Good day, amazing people of Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. This is another day in the #inleomonthly prompt. Have you ever been wrongly accused? How did you feel?
If there is something I don’t like, it is when I am being accused of something I am innocent of. When someone is accused wrongly, it can put the person in a devastated state. The person will feel betrayed; it can even depress the person. I have seen on several occasions that someone is accused wrongly; the person couldn’t stand the disgrace; the person had to end their life.
Accusation may look like a small thing, but it can ruin someone's life and reputation. Most people who have faced accusations, it drains them emotionally and physically.
After I graduated from the university, my mom's sister helped me secure a job in their company. I love the work with everything in me. I studied accounting. I was so happy that I was practicing what I studied in the university. I love my job so much that I have to dedicate my time and my energy to my work. Being a career woman has always been my dream.
I am always diligent and hard-working. I was not doing that to please anyone. My love for accounting makes me go the extra mile. My parents always tell me, Wherever you go, live a good legacy. Even if you are not there, your legacy will speak for you. I try my best to keep a good reputation because I don’t want anything that will tarnish my image. We have four people in my department. I make sure I respect my senior colleagues who have been there before me. I make sure that I don’t make mistakes when balancing the company account.
My head of department always sings praises of how sincere I am, that I should keep it up with the good work. He also encourages me to keep being a good staff member; with time, the company will promote me. I was happy that my boss trusts me. Whenever you are working in a firm, there are people who will want to spoil your reputation. Never did I know that one of my colleagues was cooking up something for.
Every end of the month, my department always gives a detailed account to the company. I never knew that the account was manipulated.
On that fateful day, the head of my department called me into his office. He said, I am so disappointed that an investigation was done and a huge amount of money is missing, and all fingers are pointing at me as the culprit.
I was very shocked and devastated hearing the accusation from my boss because I have put in my very best in this work. I make sure I balance my account every day, and in tears I explain to my boss that I have been diligent in my job. I have always been careful when it comes to the company finances. I asked my boss to show me the evidence of the accusation, but he declined.
I was dismissed from work without pay; the reputation I tried to build was tarnished. Most of my colleagues felt pity for me while I was happy that I was dismissed. It was not easy for me because I was the breadwinner in my family; it was really hard for me. I was so depressed I had to go out and do minor jobs so that my family could eat.
After many months of investigation, the truth was revealed. It happened that the culprit was my colleague in the office who was jealous of how well I was doing in the office. Before I was employed, she embezzled the company money. She was so angry that I had always been in her way. She was arrested and put to law.
My company called me back and begged me for tarnishing my reputation. I was paid for the months I was dismissed, and the company promoted me. I was so happy.
From my experience, I got to know most of the people in the prison today are falsely accused. I could have lost my job if not for the fact that my boss had to meet our chief security to have a view of the CCTV; that was how the truth was revealed. Accusations can put someone in a devastated state. I have seen someone end his life because he was wrongly accused.
This is my response to the day 10 #marchinleo of the daily prompts.
