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?

Holy crap! You boss is a cold hearted prick that will also grow old one day and I hope his ignorant ass gets what it's given in life. Shit like this pisses me off to no end. OP, even though you lost your job, PLEASE be PROUD of the reasons why.

That is just ****** up. OP what i will say is this, look into filing a lawsuit on wrongful termination. What i will howeversay is why do people insist on elder abuse? It's not right. Their our older generation and should be treated with care and respect as much as the next person. Learn to treat your elders with respect.

I must be an idiot because I thought the whole point of a nursing home was to make sure the residents were comfortable and healthy until their crossing into the next life/afterlife/cold dirt. Wouldn't kindness be part of that?

You should report that ish, cause that's not something to say nor be fired for

people like you restore the faith in humanity in me that people like that destroy

No puns or clever jokes here. Your boss is a sack of shit.

The boss needs to be fired. That's just plain despicable.
