I remember when I was paid minimum wage to be a receptionist in a building.
One day a man came in said someone was hurt. I ran outside to help with my friend but no one was there. We walked back in and a gang pulled a flat screen off a wall.
We werent sure what to do so we called security and to be honest were so confused we kept telling them to explain what they were doing. ( It was just a flat screen ).
I remember the thieves ( middle of the day ) Just saying something like " its not worth it just leave us alone".
Long story short. A few weeks later, instead of getting a raise for confronting a gang, or even a good arm shake, thanks, words of support or anything like that I received an email. A one sentence footnote in a long public email, said thanks for "trying" to deal with a scenario.
tl;dr; I put my health and possible life at risk for a flatscreen and I wasn't even properly thanked. Infact I think my boss thought I was incompetent in some way.
Dont EVER put your health at risk for a company unless it is already factored into your salary. Or you will probably even be punished let alone thanked. Truly be careful and understand what your minimum responsibilities are at the start of a job and understand where your limits are.
