It is very hard when I remember the times I worked at the publishing house and it was my job, because I was the one who managed the computer, to do the weekly payroll for the employees and workers.

Although I was administrative staff, I was mostly in charge of the inventory part, but within my functions, I was in charge of making the company's payroll, and therefore I had to go through the cashier part, the girl who kept track of all the invoices and everything that was paid, also kept track of all the balance sheets, and all the deductions that were made to the different workers and employees, and this represented a problem, because there were weeks when the workers would approach me, they would ask me not to include that week's deduction or the cut for the loan payment on their payroll.

So, many times, with so much work and so many things, let's remember that we are human beings and that sometimes we can make mistakes, and I forgot to remove that deduction parameter for a portion of their weekly salary, and that caused great annoyance, because it was money they were counting on.

So I remember that in order to solve that, because it was an involuntary mistake on my part, I, being a good person, what I did was that I reimbursed them that small amount from my salary for that week, but I only did it when there were one or two people who had that small issue, because of course, when there were more than three people, I couldn't do it because my salary would be consumed, and I also had to get paid.

But these deductions were a whole issue in this publishing house, because above all, the workers who worked there were quite shameless, and they didn't want their loans to be deducted, and other things they requested during the week, and the publishing boss had me very alert about the procedures and things regarding that.

However, because I was a good person many times, I was careless and said that I had involuntarily forgotten, to be able to favor these people who, although they worked a lot, also needed to have a kind of economic pride, and so I often faked a kind of anonymous and involuntary Robin Hood in their favor.

Of course, I did this from my sense of justice, risking my own job. Of course, I didn't do this often, but once in a while, so that the bosses wouldn't notice and start looking at me badly.

I have always believed that one has the ability to enact justice on one's own, if you see that something is happening, something that is out of context, something that really needs justice, and you have the ability to help, to be able to help in that, then you should do it.

I have always thought that way, and if someone, in a fair way, can be told that there are no deductions from their salary, then why not do it if it helps them.

Es muy duro cuando recuerdo las veces en que trabajé en la editorial y era mi trabajo, porque yo era el que manejaba la computadora, hacer la nómina semanal de los empleados y los trabajadores.

Aunque yo era personal administrativo, estaba sobre todo a cargo de la parte de inventario, pero dentro de mis funciones, estaba a cargo de hacer la nómina de la empresa, y por lo tanto tenía que pasar por la parte de la caja, la chica que llevaba el control de todas las facturas y todo lo que se pagaba, también llevaba el control de todos los balances, y de todas las reducciones que se le hacían a los distintos trabajadores y empleados, y esto representaba un problema, porque había semanas en las que los trabajadores se acercaban a mí, me pedían que no incluyera esta semana, la reducción o el corte del pago del préstamo en su nómina.

Así que muchas veces me excedía, entre tanto trabajo y tantas cosas, recordemos que somos seres humanos y que a veces podemos excedernos, y se me olvidaba eliminar ese parámetro de corte de una porción de su salario semanal, y eso causaba un gran fastidio, porque era dinero que ellos estaban contando.

Así que recuerdo que para solucionar eso, porque era algo que era un error involuntario de mi parte, yo, por la buena gente, lo que hice fue que les reponía de mi salario de esa semana, esa pequeña cantidad a ellos, pero solo lo hacía cuando eran una o dos personas las que tenían ese pequeño inconveniente, porque claro, cuando eran más de tres personas, no podía hacerlo porque mi salario se iba a consumiry yo también tenía que cobrar mi salario.

Pero esta reducción era todo un tema en esta editorial, porque sobre todo los trabajadores que trabajaban ahí eran bastante sinvergüenzas, y no querían que les descontaran los préstamos, y otras cosas que pedían durante la semana, y el jefe de editorial me tenía muy al tanto sobre los trámites y las cosas referentes a eso.

Sin embargo, porque yo era buena gente muchas veces, era descuidado y decía que involuntariamente se me había olvidado, para poder favorecer a estas personas que, aunque trabajaban mucho, también necesitaban tener una especie de orgullo económico, y así muchas veces fingía ser una especie de Robin Hood anónimo e involuntario a favor de ellos.

Claro, esto lo hacía desde mi sentido de la justicia, poniendo en riesgo mi propio trabajo, claro, no lo hacía seguido, sino de vez en cuando, para que los jefes no se percataran de esto y no empezaran a verme con mala cara.

Siempre he creído que uno tiene la capacidad de hacer justicia por su cuenta, si ves que algo está pasando, algo que está fuera de contexto, algo que realmente necesita justicia, y tú tienes la capacidad de ayudarlo, de poder ayudar en eso, entonces deberías hacerlo.

Siempre he pensado de esa manera, y si a alguien, de una manera justa, se le puede decir que no hay reducciones para su sueldo, entonces ¿por qué no hacerlo si esto le ayuda?.
