I lost my job because of an incident from last week. I did door to door sales, and I was actually pretty damn good at it. I was a newer guy and was being praised for doing as well as veterans. Customers liked how respectful and personable I was, as I also emphasized with them how I understand how people feel about door to door salesmen. I was very successful.
Last week, I was with a customer, and my particular line of work was windows. The customer admitted he had window problems and asked me to look at them. I came inside to do so. He locked the door behind me and reached for my penis. My instant reaction was to threaten him with physical violence. I told him I was going to punch him in his mouth.
Reason I reacted like that was
A. He locked the door behind me, which was pretty threatening.
B. He was a big fucking dude. I mean, I’m 6’3 230 pounds and he was bigger than me.
I called my team lead once I got out, and talked to the director and also the manager. Director straight told me he would’ve reacted the same way.
Human Resources had to get involved, which I get, but they told me I was a liability for a lawsuit and they had to let me go. He seemed actually disappointed, and the boss (director wasn’t there for this) did as well.
