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

sweet23_fml tells us more.

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.

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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?

You should report this where was the facility and I can get u a number I'm an Emt we are mandated reporters I'd also sue for wrongful termination

Appeal it...you should get it back...if not hope you can find a new and maybe better job OP...

Pretty sure you can sue for that or get your job back from un lawful firing

If you're in the US, you have a case for unjust separation. Speak with a lawyer. And FYL indeed

Your quote would make a great quote in the local newspaper. Get the word out that that facility is not best for the elderly.

Not the best? Its terrible.

You need to tell people about this shit. Call the papers, report to the proper authorities, whatever. That is unacceptable.

This is why old people in care suffer. >:|

That's painful to hear people these days...:(

I thought that Australia has awesome healthcare

It scares me to think of being old and vulnerable to people like that.
