Elevator Experience - Ordeal of Nick White...

Nick White, a thirty-four year old production manager at McGraw-Hill Building faced his one of his childhood traumas over again - being stuck in an elevator, this time for 41 hours. Having nothing to eat, drink or entertain but a few cigarettes and the unusable Jets tickets Nick was all alone... When the main question is asked- Who is responsible for this? One must take all factors into consideration. Was it the security guards- who didn't properly check all security cameras in the building before leaving for the long weekend. Was it the engineers, maintenance crew who are responsible for the safety of the elevators? Or was the entire building co-operation that is responsible for Nick White until the end of shift? In my opinion... All of the above. These different areas of jobs in the building are purposely there for the safety and security of its staff, and management. If one of these fields did their job correctly- Nick wouldn't necessarily be in this situation. Having that in mind, Nick should be compensated for a lot more then he received. The 25million dollars was a little over-exaggerated- or was it? He had a higher risk dying, without food or water. No public restrooms. Psychologically he went through hardships sleeping when the light was on 24/7. Should he get exactly what he wanted? Heck, if I was in the same situation- I'd try to squeeze every ounce out compensation out of the company until it was a dried up lemon. I think Nick should have got some sort of 3 month vacation with vacation pay for starters- just to mentally stable his brain for being trapped in a box for nearly 41 hours. As well, offered another job- at another location. Unfortunately Nick White didn't get everything he wanted in the long run... He is now unemployed, settling on the bare-minimum compensation given to him by his company... Saddening really. I guess if he died in that elevator all alone- he might have been given a reasonably fair compensation.
