Dismissal

Water park director Kseniya Rudenko discovered the incident and considered fire the man, she tells British media. “Later we found out his motive: he wanted to celebrate his 11-year-old son’s birthday in an unforgettable way.”

Subsequently, after internal investigation and a conversation with the father, it was decided not to fire him. “Our reaction? First we were shocked, then we laughed,” explains the boss. “Sometimes life gives us these lessons not to express our anger and to take measures, but to remind us of something.”
