Despite being promised numerous jobs and other rewards after he jumped into a gully to rescue 12-year-old Renaldo Reynolds, who was being swept away by raging flood water, Tremayne Brown still spends his days staring into space in his community of Trench Town, according to his father, Stanford Brown.
“All these promise dem promise the young youth, dem nah give him nothing. I think that it is rude and out of order because dem come and dem use him and don’t give him nothing,” Stanford Brown told THE WEEKEND STAR.
He said that he was happy to see his son being recognised for his heroic act when he was given the Badge of Honour for Gallantry at the National Honours and Awards ceremony on Heroes’ Day, but now he needs a job.
Among the offers that Tremayne received was employment at Lasco, however, his father said the company only wants him to work for two days of the week.
“All Lasco a offer him job fa is two day inna di week. That is not good enough for him,” the upset father said.
GETS FRUSTRATED
He said that his son seems as if he is not keen on working for two days as he enjoys working and gets annoyed by the situation when he sits down and isn’t working.
“It look like him don’t interested inna it because he wants a full-time job weh him know him a get to go work everyday and him know him a earn him likkle change. That is what he needs,” he told THE STAR.
“Sometimes, him get frustrated cause him a say all these things di people dem promise him dis, and dat and dem nah give him nothing. Him get frustrated more time over the situation.”
However, in a press release, Lasco noted that Tremayne rejected two jobs in the promotions department at Lasco. The company said that he was given the option to work as a promoter or as an inventory clerk on a contract basis with a fixed salary and flexible work hours.
“Lasco noted that at no point was the offer rescinded nor was a restriction placed on additional non-competitive employment,” the press release said.
When THE WEEKEND STAR contacted Lasco, they indicated that they did not wish to comment further on the matter.
Still, Standford Brown insists that his son would like a full-time job.
“He is young, growing up person, so him want fi be an independent person cause him love work, enuh. One thing wid him, him love fi work, him waan fi work.”
These companies can be so cutthroat and downright misleading. Nevadiless, Suh pops, 2 days nuh betta dan none?
But if they offered him a job and the job is for two days a week they have not lied, you were the ones who assumed the job would be full-time to start. Many things that start bad end up good. Why him nuh go do the two days a week and see if it increase when di probation ends. Maybe some of these places waiting for him to let them know he is ready to start. Despite the offer him no expect to do nothing on his end in securing the offered work, him nuh haffi meck dem know him ready now.
So him prefer to sit and stare into space than work for two days?
A DI MENTALITY A NUFF A DEM DUNG A JA..MI WANT NUFF A DEM FI COME A MERICA WHEN DEM SI HOW NUFF A WI HAFFI WUK NUFF LIKKLE PART-TIME JOBS AND HUSTLE FI TRY AND MEK IT…DEM PEOPLE A JAMAICA GOOD AND NUTTIN NAA WORRY DEM..KMT
Two days a week betta dan nothing! De truth is nuff a de young people dem a yawd don’t want to work. Nuff a dem just want to beg, scam, teef, and have major attitudes. Don’t get me wrong, I know that there are good young people with good intentions, and are hard workers academically, and otherwise, but in reality, nuff a de young people nowadays dem a pree tings differently.
Suh working 2 day a week nuh still betta dan siddung a stare inna space full time? di yute naa medz right, an di fadda fi mek him know wid dat mentality him prolly aguh a stare inna space fi di res a him life. lol
Why should anyone employ him after this disrespect. Lasco offer yu two days to earn and yu prefer to siddung fi seven, nah do nutt’n. How him know di people nah map him out fi better things? Well his attitude towards gratitude got him totally disqualified for any assistance in my opinion. Gwaan rub out yu han miggle
so if him no wah work 2 days per week, then how him did plan fi work a JDF??? lol nosah him couldnt even clean ova camp with that mentality, i dont know y unuh tek up that crosses bwoy pon unh self bout hero kmt
