You’re at work and your wife goes into labour. What do you do?
Rush to be by her side, right?

Well for one new father, who did exactly that, the day his first child was born ended up being pretty bitter sweet.
Why? Because not only did he get a son that day, but he also lost his job.
Yes, instead of a ‘congratulations’ text, Lamar Austin from New Hampshire received a message telling him he had been ‘terminated’.
At the time of his son’s birth, the former security guard had been in the middle of a 90-day trial period at Salerno Protective Services, a private security group.
However, as he was unable to attend his weekend shift once his wife, Lindsay, went into labour, he was fired.

Luckily for Mr Austin, as soon as news spread about him losing his job, former town board member Sara Persechino launched a GoFundMe campaign for the family.
The page has already raised more than $500 (£400).
And as if that wasn’t enough, he has also been handed three other job offers.
Speaking to the Concord Monitor, Mr Austin said: ‘Sometimes you lose something and you get something even better.’
