Maybe it was some shitty job that only morons would do for a long term living, but this guy decided to do something worthwhile for humanity instead of watching tv while he waits for school to start or something. He's not going to be around long enough for them to fire one of the morons.

I'd assume so. Given that all of the employees had a poor work ethic, they were most likely liberals.

Actually, it was a private republican christian type place. I'm the liberal.

Yes, I can hear the elderly now.. "Why can't the staff who administer my meds, clean my soiled bed linens, keep me knee deep in cold creme and adult diapers, etc be as nice as that bubbly gal who delivers the mail and asks me about the pictures of my family". Grow up! This isn't an FML and they were being gracious (and most likely dishonest) by complimenting you when they let you go - take off the rose colored glasses Polyanna!

Funny, the same thing almost happend in Norway. Dureing some tough times in eastern europe, many refugees came to Norway and was given a home here. To repay this they started to work really hard, and that made our workforce look sloppy so the "New" guys were told to relax and to less work :P Im sad I can't remember where they were from, but I thought I'd share this story here.

Ya that'll send a great message to the staff. fire people for good work.

Good for you for actually caring about the people you're helping! Btw I'm from SD too! I feel like crap like this is actually pretty common in this state. Maybe that's why businesses can't get employees.

I hope that they'll be good references when you apply for future jobs! And, just to stick it to them, passively, you should make regular visits to the seniors there. Don't lose your passion for them, just because the staff isn't as devoted as you

This is like the start of Hot Fuzz. This is ridiculous!

Ayyyy
