LI mom fired after donating her kidney for her boss

[no_hypocrisy]

-snip-


Stevens said she did not realize that she was in for serious pain, discomfort in her legs and digestive problems after the surgery on Aug. 10, 2011. She said she felt pressured to return to work Sept. 6, before she was ready — even while her boss was still recovering at home. When Stevens went home sick three days after her return, she said, Brucia actually called her from home to berate her.

“She . . . said, ‘What are you doing? Why aren’t you at work?’ I told her I didn’t feel good,’’ Stevens told The Post. “She said, ‘You can’t come and go as you please. People are going to think you’re getting special treatment.’ ”

After Brucia returned to work, she’d yell at Stevens in front of co-workers over alleged mistakes, Stevens said.

Stevens said that her office and overtime were eventually taken away and that she was demoted to a dealership 50 miles from her home in a high-crime neighborhood that co-workers jokingly called “Siberia.’’ Experiencing mental anguish, she consulted a psychiatrist. and her lawyers wrote a letter to the company — after which Stevens was quickly fired, the papers state.

Brucia did not return phone calls from The Post. She was spotted outside her Babylon home Friday getting into a limo with plastic cups and what appeared to be a bottle of pink champagne.

1. That rotten ungrateful bastard should be pelted with garbage.

"Gee, YOU'RE WELCOME for the life-saving!!"

2. People like that are why I help no one out anymore.

3. Isn't there a Dilbert strip about this?

Or is it too far over the top for cartoons?

4. The boss didn't even get the kidney -- the donor kidney went to someone else and "bought" a kidney

for the boss. This is fucked up all around. The boss is seriously an asshole, but offering to donate a kidney to your boss is just asking for trouble down the line.

5. And the limo

probably sports a Romney bumper sticker.

6. That is seriously twisted.

If I were a mean person I would hope for a rejection...but I'm not, so I can't.

9. Don't worry, I got it.

13. She actually donated the kidney to another person so the boss could move up on the list

(because her kidney wasn't a good match for the boss).

So actually, she saved two lives.

I hope the man who received the kidney is more appreciative than this rotten witch is.

7. This is what happens when we justify working for the beast in the hopes that

it will eventually be your turn. Scum is scum and will remain scum, even when they write your paycheck.

"If you don't stand up for something, you will fall for anything".

K&R for the lesson.

8. Honestly, neither lady sounds right in the noggin. Weird.

10. I was reading this on Yahoo earlier -- bizarre story

1. Very inappropriate to ask an employee to be an organ donor,

2. The woman wasn't a good donor, but if she donated to someone who she matched with, her boss would get moved way up the donor list.

3. After her kidney was removed, the woman started harassing her and mocking her and then transferred her -- because why? Was she mad she didn't get a kidney yet, or what?

4. The employee also had complications from the surgery which left her with permanent nerve damage and pain.

5. When the employee filed a formal complaint about all of this, including a demotion, she was fired a week later. Which was really stupid of her employer to do.

11. sounds like somebody took "Lost" a little too seriously

14. Perhaps Jackie Brucia will be in the sequel to the movie "Horrible Bosses"

Sounds like something right out of that movie.
