Today, I got fired from my job at an age care facility because I was too nice to my residents. My boss told me "They're deaf, blind and about to jump head first into the grave. We don't pay you to be kind." FML

I think there was a bit of misunderstanding it was just my boss who thought that way, the ladies i work with are the most respectful and caring people i have ever met.

Why do people treat the elderly so horribly? They are people too; they've just experienced a LOT more than most.

So are children, teens, married people, single people, and imaginary friends. Your point?

Wtf? Seriously? -.- That's a pathetic reason why your boss fired you! I think there should be people like you who is kind and caring in an age care facility because it will make the people in the facility a better and happy place for them beside the fact that they will be passing at some point soon. FYL Op, it's your boss's loss for firing such a kind person like you. I really hope you can take this problem to your union (if you belong to one) or some authority place for taking care of an age care facility.

If you can report your boss to someone higher up his attitude is horrible!

Your boss should be fired. You should be the new boss because you're kinder than your boss. How did he even GET that job?

Your boss doesn't deserve to even work there, or anywhere for that matter.

I'd bet that your kindness made you suck at your job in some way. Like, maybe your co-workers had to pick up your slack because your kindness made you chatty and therefore too slow. That would be my guess.
