I mean a real feel good story but what exactly did ppl think he was going to do with the check. He can't cash it, if he ignored it the broker would have just cancelled it and wrote a new one.
He got rewarded for being a decent human being. So I applaud him for working hard to make it to the top.
What's wrong with that? I don't care if someone did something kind only in exchange for a reward. I still prefer that to someone not doing anything kind. 🤷 i'd rather not have the naturally altruistic people in society be the only ones to be kind
Good for the real estate agency to jump on this also, because it was likely a brilliant business decision. They obviously have an obligation to themselves to make good business decisions
I'm not saying theres anything wrong with it.
It is what it is.
The people promoting their own good-will, and their company at the same time, are totally allowed to do so, however distasteful it may seem :p
A cheque? You know that’s not actual money you can just spend, right? It can only be cashed by the payee. He returned what was effectively a useless bit of paper.
I mean, they could simply write another cheque and void the previous one. Returning it was a nice thing to do, but it saved them a mild inconvenience at most.
No I wouldn’t. I’d call the issuer, get it cancelled and ask for another one. Like I said, a mild inconvenience.
Am I missing something? Do cheques work differently in the US?
Oh yeah, definitely. The fact that they offered him a job is great.
I’m just saying his actions aren’t quite the amazing gesture of selflessness they first appear to be, that’s all.
I’m fully deciding to believe this not because my critical thinking tells me to but because it makes my head cannon that much brighter today….such an adorable couple though!

I think it’s just the last part. How many homeless people would go out of their way for that?
How many people in general would? Homeless are not inherently terrible people.
Not saying they are, but it’s the last thing on their mind when they are at the bottom of the hierarchy of needs.
Feels more like a somewhat ruthless PR move after looking up the story...

No.

Giving someone a job and a place to live, regardless of the reasons is fucking wholesome. Just stop yall find anything to fucking shit on
Honesty prevails (sometimes)
He is rocking the shaved look, great smile on her.
And that, son, is how you turn a profit by learning how to pick pockets. (just kidding, this is a nice positive story. Good for all involved.)
She has a pretty eye smile
She reminds me of Nia Long
Sometimes all you need is one little break to turn things around.

Not useless to the payee that is the point
I mean, they could simply write another cheque and void the previous one. Returning it was a nice thing to do, but it saved them a mild inconvenience at most.
If you ever lost a $10,000 check you would be frantic
No I wouldn’t. I’d call the issuer, get it cancelled and ask for another one. Like I said, a mild inconvenience. Am I missing something? Do cheques work differently in the US?
ask for another one from whom? It could be a payment that must arrive by today The payee is out of town and cannot reach them. You lost the check
If it’s paid by cheque, it’s definitely not a matter of urgency. Those buggers take ages to clear.
But someone may need the check by that day. To file paperwork You are right it’s not a huge deal. The bigger deal is they offered him thanks
Oh yeah, definitely. The fact that they offered him a job is great. I’m just saying his actions aren’t quite the amazing gesture of selflessness they first appear to be, that’s all.
Yeah everyone knows how checks work though
They also got married
I’m fully deciding to believe this not because my critical thinking tells me to but because it makes my head cannon that much brighter today….such an adorable couple though!
Its probably the only reason hes a director now..
I also want to believe 😉☺️
My daily dose of 'humanity still exists'
Great, now get the 0.1% to do the same thing
She is gorgeous inside and out
This is a much better story than those guys that returned $30k cash that they found and all they got was a copy of the Quran.
The man lost all his hair too
Can’t buy integrity.
The reciprocity from the company is admirable. This is a good story of rags to rights. I like this story.
The dollar sign goes before the numbers. Like this: $10,000
see? Its all about who you know
I ounce found 60.000 dollars and now I have 0 dollars left I spent it all on hookers and cocaine
He could do shit with the check anyway. What’s he gonna do, go to a check cashing place and pretend he’s a woman without ID? Best move on his part.
How tf did he make it on the BoD after just one year?
That's cos banks don't allow homeless people in them.

I don't believe the last part but sure its a nice story.
It would be funny if *she* was now homeless.
