The reasons for being fired can range from the most serious to the most absurd. Many of you think you were fired for illogical reasons, but trust us: There are worse ones!
If you've lost your job and want comfort, you've definitely come to the right article, as we dug through the archives and found an extremely interesting story.
Let's get started: First, "turn off" your brain and focus on what you are reading.
In an office somewhere in New York City, Debbie Stevens, a 47-year-old divorced mother of two and a very empathetic woman, sat. In another office, her boss, Jackie Brucia, complained that she couldn't find a donor to donate her kidney.
As the two discussed the situation, Debbie emphasized that she would donate her kidney. Of course, the boss thought she was joking, but things would soon take a different turn.
Stevens agrees to donate her kidney
In January 2011, Stevens claimed that her boss, Brucia, called her into the office to ask if she was serious about "that kidney donation job."
Stevens says she replied:
"Yes, of course. This is not a matter to joke about."
She even added that she never made this humane gesture to secure a job or earn a salary increase, but for only one reason: "I'm a good person."
"I didn't want her to die," Stevens said.
However, the first problems arose when tests made it clear that Stevens was not the best donor for Brucia. Doctors agreed that she would donate her kidney to a stranger in St. Louis, Missouri. Her kidney could then be “swapped” with the ideal donor for her boss.
Kidney surgery and donation
Stevens underwent surgery on August 10, 2011, and things went well. She donated her kidney to the stranger and the ideal donor, her boss.
It seems like the happy ending of a story, but this is not the end, it is just the beginning. So, read carefully and be surprised!
Stevens returned to work four weeks later. By this time, the problems with Brucia had already set in. Brucia began pressuring Stevens to return to work immediately after her surgery.
Stevens said she "cannot find words to describe the treatment from her boss."
She claims that Brucia shouted at her about absurd things and wouldn't let her leave the table, not even to go to the bathroom.
Stevens also suffered some medical problems after the kidney donation surgery. She said doctors hit a nerve in her leg, leading to abdominal pain, digestive problems that required frequent trips to the bathroom.
Bruce never offered to help him in any way, but simply dismissed him.
lawsuit
After consulting a psychiatrist about the distress Brucia had caused her, Stevens hired lawyers who sent a letter to the company where she worked, Atlantic Automotive Group, in March 2012.
Stevens would lose her job within a week.
The hope of Stevens' attorney, Lenard Leeds, was that by filing a discrimination lawsuit against Atlantic Automotive Group, they would win millions of dollars in compensation for the stress that Brucia caused Stevens and also for lost wages.
After many court hearings, the parties found common ground and Stevens received the money he deserved.
We told you it gets worse!
