Flame wars in the comments section don’t do anything but inspire more cynicism and aggression. Don’t like a story? Then downvote it, and maybe leave a constructive comment. Then move on.
Did someone respond negatively, unconstructively, or aggressively? Let a mod know rather than feeding into it. Our community doesn’t need the comments turning into a cesspool of insults.
Hopefully the glow of public attention will protect her for a little while at least. Corporate probably doesn’t want her calling back GMA for a follow-up interview.
I'm hoping for the happy-cynical, orphan-crushing-machine ending: someone sets up a GoFundMe and raises a bunch of money to allow the mother of four to raise her children and not be stuck managing a Taco Bell.
Precident? Show me a few cases of someone being fired for this.
I worked “one of those jobs” for over a decade. Never happened.
Funny, I googled “fast food worker saves life” and got all kinds of hits – didn’t find any that said they were fired for it. But sure, happens all the time, right?
So the vast majority of these are for stopping shoplifters – not even remotely the same thing.
1 is about some psycho who used someone to get a kidney – even less related.
The other 2 are about policy violations. What policy did the person in this instance violate?
Its extremely telling how wide a net you had to cast for something that happens “all the time” and will “probably” happen to her.
Meanwhile, again, a simple google search for “fast food employee saves life” gives you more examples, and they are actually relevant to the topic at hand, and surprise surprise, they didn’t get fired.
Such a terminally online take to have to jump in with that toxicity on every little story.
