Recently, a substitute driver in Siping, Jilin Province was heating in the bank ATM room, but was rudely abused by the bank security guard as a "stinky substitute driver" and driven away, which caused heated discussions. The substitute driver said that the weather was cold that day, and he entered the ATM room to escape the cold for a short time, and had no other purpose.
It wasn't the first time he'd done this, but the first time he'd been treated so roughly. In this regard, the bank involved responded that the relevant security personnel hired non-regular employees for a third party, and the inappropriate speech was a personal act, which had been reported to the superiors. This incident reflects that there is still discrimination against marginalized groups such as substitute drivers in society, and it needs to be paid enough attention.
On the evening of January 8, the weather in Siping City, Jilin Province was very cold. A local substitute driver enters the ATM room of a bank to take shelter from the cold for a short time to keep warm. Not long after, a man suddenly appeared in the surveillance to insult his "stinky substitute driver" and asked if this was his home, and the substitute driver was immediately driven away.
After the incident was exposed, the substitute driver confirmed what happened. He said he just wanted to warm up, and had no other purpose. He had previously been in the ATM room of another bank for a short time in the cold, and had never been treated so rudely.
The experience of the substitute driver sparked heated discussions, and everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with the rude words and actions of the bank security guards. Some people think that bank ATM rooms are public places, and it is not inappropriate for drivers to enter to heat up. The security guard's abusive behaviour was clearly excessive and extremely disrespectful to a worker who was properly heating up. This fully exposes the discriminatory attitude of some people towards grassroots labor groups.
In this regard, the Siping branch of the bank involved responded that the relevant security personnel were non-regular employees hired by a third party, and his words and deeds did not represent the bank's position.
The bank said that the security staff had the right to dissuade drunk people or stop vandalism, but it was obviously unfair to abuse a substitute driver who was justifying heating, and it has been reported to the superiors. It can be seen that the bank also admitted that the security guards mishandled the situation, causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
However, some people say that banks can do this, but pay attention to the tone and rhetoric
From this incident, it can be seen that there is still stereotyped thinking and discrimination against certain marginalized and vulnerable groups in society. Emerging occupational groups such as food delivery workers, delivery boys, and substitute drivers are often treated unfairly.
Some people stereotype them as low-quality workers. Some grassroots workers are also vulnerable to unequal treatment. These need to be improved by raising public awareness and increasing empathy.
People need to realize that everyone's work deserves to be respected. Substitute drivers, delivery workers, etc., are creating social value, and their reasonable needs should also be met. Public places such as ATM rooms should be open to all.
Security guards and related staff need to be trained to be more inclusive and professional, rather than putting themselves on the moral high ground, and learn to understand and be considerate of people from all walks of life.
This incident also serves as a warning to enterprises that they should not only maximize profits. The quality of security and frontline staff is related to corporate image and social responsibility. Enterprises need to pay attention to the construction of corporate culture, emphasizing fairness, respect, and understanding, rather than putting profits first. Only in this way can we keep pace with the times and realize the harmony and unity of enterprises, employees and the public.
