A concierge who "devoted his life" to helping his tenants at a luxury New York high-rise has been fired for - quote - being too nice. The tenants are reportedly rallying behind Ralph Body and have signed a petition to get the dream doorman reinstated.
The 41-year-old had been a concierge at the famous Queens Tower 27 ever since it opened two years ago. According to the
New York Post, he always tried to make people feel pampered and responded to their every request, many of which strayed outside the responsibilities outlined in his job spec. It included everything from helping tenants with bags to taking care of their pets, even showing apartments to new tenants.
"Everything I did, somebody asked me to do, or there was a need for it," Body told The
New York Post.
But even for an extravagant glass tower with $4,200 a month apartments, complete with a yoga room, gym and movie facilities, too much of a good thing can sometimes apparently not be enough.
