Don Wildmon told the story on AFR of a man named Wright, working for the Air Force with a title, Inventory Specialist.
I didn’t write down details before deciding to pass this on.
So it’s not as clear as when Don shared it on “It’s My Turn.”

Mr. White was a very upright man.
He wrote a sincere letter to his superiors explaining why his position was not necessary and that his own job should be eliminated.
His letter went up through the channels for several months, no doubt with some chuckles along the way.
Finally it came to the top level commander, and he took it seriously and agreed with it.
Result, Mr. White’s position and job were eliminated.
Mr. White received a $1000 check for his input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And . . . Mr. White was promoted to a Supervisor position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s so good to hear when integrity is recognized and rewarded, especially integrity with humility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
