Despite the 21-year-old's heroics—which saved a woman suffering from a heart attack—the bus company let the driver go:

Stagecoach defended the dismissal, saying: "The individual failed to turn up for work on a number of occasions and there was no option but to let him go."

The takeaway: Regular attendance is a very important part of successful employment.
