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?

Its sad because my grandma that passed away was abused in an elderly home because she "Was Useless Anyways"

In my country, prisoners get treated better than the elderly. OPs boss should be thinking of the elders instead of money. What better way to get residents than being rumored to be a retirement home with friendly and kind employees?

Your ex boss is a straight up ********. He or she whatever the case may be, has no human compassion what so ever. You'll find a job where the staff really gives a shit and enjoys what they're paid to do. Unlike Dick head!

I don't know why the elderly get treated so bad. Some of them get treated worse than criminals in prison.

Yikes! I'm curious as to how he actually wanted you to treat them.

wow.... im glad the home where my101 yr old great great grandmother is isnt run by him

My grandma lives in an assisted living place and I wish they encouraged people to be like you :( I'm so sorry that you got fired and I hope you find a new job quickly. It's not fair that you got kicked out for doing the right thing. You're a good person, and I wish you the best.

Definitely would have said... then you're ******* fired! if you don't pay me to be nice, I'll be a dick.

I would report him to the higher people, but if he owns it then I hope that someone treats him like total shit when he's an elder. In Ontario their building many retirement homes and care facilities right next to cemeteries or funeral homes yea because that's what our elderly people want to see when they look out their windows. Somehow i don't think 'Hey look honey one day we'll be there' will be the first thing they say.

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.
