Justice

To be justified is what everyone hopes to get in their lives. But do we always get to live in justice?

Here's a comparison to think about and see if justice is present:

Guy A works for a company with a min pay of RM1500. he has been working for a little over a year. Suddenly, he had to take a 2-month leave to take care of his old grandmother at home and the office he was in, was left vacant.

The company employed a new temporary worker, Guy B to fill in his place for those 2 months. This new employee could only work part-time in the mornings, but all the work done by Guy A were piled on Guy B. There were deadlines and pressure heated up every now and then to get things done in time, and in good outcomes. Guy B also had to spend half his time studying in the afternoons in order to get better pay in future jobs he planned to apply for. He had to juggle everything, and his full-time studies were not that easy.

Talking about pay. Guy B was only paid RM250 because he was employed on a part-time basis. But not to forget, all the work similarly done by Guy A (who was paid RM1500) was done by Guy B in a shorter period of time in a month.

So my question is, who was justified?
