This is incredible and I hope this caring soul tells the story just exactly like this to HR.
Am I wrong for removing a wheelchair user from an elevator when I thought it might snap?
Context: I grew up in a small town and only ever really used elevators at the mall. I now live in a big city and take one every day at work.
Me and a bunch of other people, including a wheelchair user, were waiting to use the elevator at my work and all got on at once. A sign came on in red lights saying that we were over the elevator's weight capacity and the doors stated open. Since I mostly know about elevators from movies before this year, my first thought was that this was an emergency where the cable could snap.
I pride myselt in caring for others and my first reaction was to assist the person who was least able to help themselves by removing her from danger. I gently pushed her off and the warning light went off and the doors closed, carrying the rest of us all to the floors we punched in.
She was very upset about this and reported me to HR.
They called me in on Monday and had me take the week off and I explained everything. They said they'll talk to me this following Monday.
I feel like I might be about to get fired for trying to be a good Samaritan. Am I in the wrong?

Thank you Lane -- wish you all the best.
Philadelphia. You truly are the City of Brotherly Love. The best fans and the most prideful city in the entire world.
I have given it my all for 14 years; season after season pushing my body to the max and tirelessly working my craft to not only live up to the legacy of the guys that came before me, but to set a new standard of success for the best franchise in all of sports.
I deeply wanted to gut it out for one more year; to take the field with my brothers for one last season. But after a lot of reflection, I’ve realized that my personal and family priorities in my life have changed. Right now, it is critical that I focus on my mental health. I owe it to my teammates, coaches, the organization and the fans to have my head and heart 100 percent in the game. And right now my heart is telling me that it’s time to say goodbye to football.
At this time, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to retire from the National Football League.
Riding up Broad Street as a World Champion, not once, but twice, and seeing the city in all its glory was the ultimate privilege; I’ll never forget it.
Thank you to Jeffrey Lurie and the entire Eagles organization for taking a chance on a kid from small-town East Texas, and changing my life forever. And thank you to the many coaches and teammates I’ve had the honor of working with and playing alongside for the past 14 years; ya’ll have become lifelong friends and the brothers that I never had.
Right now, what’s most important to me is continuing to focus on my mental health and spending more time with my kids and family.
But Philadelphia will always be home, and I will forever be an Eagle.
Thank you for the love and the enduring support.

The Eagles play ugly, because at this point, they're not good enough to do it any other way. But it's not a point of pride. They're not getting away with it anymore. The bottom's falling out, and they might not be able to stop it. www.phillyvoice.com/eagles-rams-...
