Sadık Şaşmaz, a hospital cleaning staff member who welcomed his wife at the bus station with a decorated car, was dismissed from his job. The management claimed that he did it while reporting the organization. However, Şaşmaz stated that he carried out the event before the report, saying, "Chauvinism won, but I am left unemployed."

Sadık Şaşmaz (29), who lives in the central district of Sarıçam, had his pregnant wife Melek (25) go to her hometown Batman last month. After staying in Batman for about a month, Melek Şaşmaz returned to Adana early in the morning on Sunday, August 31. Sadık Şaşmaz, who went to greet his wife at the bus station, decorated his car with balloons and wrote, 'I missed you so much my dear, welcome home.' The woman, surprised by the surprise, hugged her husband and thanked him.
THE WAY HE GREETED HIS WIFE BECAME A TOPIC IN TURKEY'S AGENDA
Sadık Şaşmaz's post, which he shared on social media, was flooded with likes. Working as a cleaning staff for ISS Turkey at Adana City Training and Research Hospital, Sadık Şaşmaz took a 2-day leave due to illness on Monday, September 1, and sent it to his boss. Two days after the surprise organization, the gesture to Şaşmaz's wife was reported as "Colorful images from Adana: He decorated his car with balloons and writings, greeted his wife." Many people congratulated the couple after seeing the news.
FIRED
The company that saw the news claimed that Sadık Şaşmaz organized this event on the day he was on leave and prepared a report stating, 'This does not comply with our core values of honesty and responsibility.' In his defense, Şaşmaz proved that he organized this event early in the morning on August 31. Following this, the company prepared another report the next day, stating 'performance deficiency' and terminated Şaşmaz's contract.
"MY WIFE WON, I AM LEFT UNEMPLOYED"
Sharing his unfortunate experience with İHA, Şaşmaz said, "I organized this event to make my wife happy. Through you, I reached millions of people and received very positive reactions. However, the company I work for claimed that I organized such an event on the day I was on leave. I proved to them that I did not do such a thing on the day I was on leave, but later they fired me, citing performance deficiency. I said that being a good husband would win, and it did, but I am left unemployed," he said.
"MY WIFE IS PREGNANT, I AM UNEMPLOYED"
Şaşmaz, who mentioned that his wife is pregnant and that he is in a difficult situation due to being unemployed, said, "My wife is pregnant, and my house is rented. My rent is due in 3 months, and I don't know what I will do. I will file a lawsuit for my return to work, but either they should reinstate me or I am looking for a job from charitable businessmen," he said.
On the other hand, ISS Turkey did not make a statement.
