2 stories broke within the last 48 hours and both of them went ‘viral’, The first story was about the flight attendant Mr. Slater of JET BLUE who first cursed out the passengers over the intercom and then slid down the emergency chute with beer bottle in hand. The second one, which turned out to be a hoax, was about Jenny who quit her job via dry erase board.
Both stories resonated with the majority of people and Mr. Slater and Jenny are celebrated as people who did what most of us want to do. For me the stories are about justice and getting back to people that treat you unjustly. On a bigger scale though the stories are about being authentic and true to yourself. To no longer pretend that things are OK, even if they aren’t.
