The City's policy is for trained life guards to save lives ... even if they go out of their assigned area.
The contract company's policy is do not go out of assigned area ... even if someone is dying.
The company was relieved of their legal responsibility once their employee walked off the job.
If something went wrong, they would not be liable.
I'm sure that the company could have used good PR judgement and handled the situation without punishing the lifeguard.
MMM -- I didn't read the comments before I posted , and was responding to the OP, but your comments are noted.

Meanwhile, none of this is free - we all pay for it, either by higher insurance rates or paranoid companies with stupid rules (like don't help anyone outside the ropes)

@talesin,
I think you may be conflating "humanity" with "compassion". Part of "humanity" is assessing risk. We do it naturally each day with just about everything we do - and so do the individuals who have to create company policy. The company leaders that make these seemingly nonsensical decisions make them because of their humanity, not in-spite of it.

What does this mean? What sound is this? My gut is telling me that it sounds similar to a wookie?
MMM
Oh, and this is ME, sharpening my claws on YOU ...... let's GO!
I have four cats. They love me.... but that doesn't stop them thinking they own me.
The thread has gone off topic.
@james_woods: was it the wookie sound?
Yes, but the Wookie knows when there is a giant squid lurking in the little cesspool.
