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?

Is your boss the retirement home guy from Happy Gilmore?

I would call Human Resources and your local news.

Care workers should be periodically reassessed so psychopaths like this are rooted out and given jobs more befitting their lack of humanity.

unfair dismissal? you're from australia so we have work place rights and I'm sure being fired for being too nice isn't a legitimate reason!

Just because they are old doesn't and shouldn't give anyone the right to treat them inhumanely..

What an asshole boss. File a complaint against him for wrongful termination.
