A “kind and generous’’ Long Island mom donated a kidney to save the life of her boss — who then turned around after she got what she wanted and helped fire the poor woman, according to an explosive new legal complaint.

...

Stevens said she did not realize that she was in for serious pain, discomfort in her legs and digestive problems after the surgery on Aug. 10, 2011. She said she felt pressured to return to work Sept. 6, before she was ready — even while her boss was still recovering at home. When Stevens went home sick three days after her return, she said, Brucia actually called her from home to berate her.

“She . . . said, ‘What are you doing? Why aren’t you at work?’ I told her I didn’t feel good,’’ Stevens told The Post. “She said, ‘You can’t come and go as you please. People are going to think you’re getting special treatment.’ ”

That boss takes the meaning of a "heartless bitch" to a brand new level.

What she lacks in heart she makes up for in extra kidneys though.

What a manipulative cunt.

I'd want my kidney back after that!

This is one of those very few cases where I hope the crazy judical system and lawsuit culture of the United States goes completely over to top and awards somebody a kazzilion-million-quid.
Her boss should have her face on the front page of every national newspaper so that she couldn't walk down the street unvilified for being such a scummy human being.

PS - Her's hoping that the kidney from such a kindhearted individual is rejected by a body carrying the a**hole gene.

Apparently the woman is counter suing to get the kidney back and quite right too. Is it just me but are alot of Americans you meet just so un self aware about how they act or come accross, they just seem to think its all me me me!

Yeah, go to the cries of retail thread if you're in any doubt of people here acting like that

Her boss was hardly a stranger, and the $$$ she received in return was probably her good reason.

But I agree, she does seem to be an idiot. She gets no sympathy from me.

I reckon there's more to this story than meets the eye.

Careful.... you're catching it

I think this is the best bit, she didn't even donate her kidney to her boss, but to a random stranger.

But while Stevens was a close health match for Brucia, she wasn’t a perfect one. So the doctors agreed to allow Stevens to donate her left kidney to someone else in the transplant group so that Brucia could move up the waiting list and get her organ from someone else.

“I felt I was giving her life back,’’ Stevens told The Post. “My kidney ended up going to St. Louis, Missouri, and hers came from San Francisco.”

Bull-gully, Bull-gully - say that tem times fast Debbie. Hope she wins though purely due to the fact that her boss looks like a satanic bitter auld cow and looks like is now downing bottles of wine to beat the band (even at work.....in a car dealership.....)

She may not have a heart. But at least she has a healthy new kidney.

This story reminds me of a Dilbert "pay review" cartoon strip.

There's 2 other paragraphs in the article that give a better view on what happened;

Brucia had been “apparently grooming her to be her ‘backup plan,’ ” according to the papers. But while Stevens was a close health match for Brucia, she wasn’t a perfect one. So the doctors agreed to allow Stevens to donate her left kidney to someone else in the transplant group so that Brucia could move up the waiting list and get her organ from someone else.

Her boss didn't get the kidney, someone else did. So I don't see why she's moaning about that. Counter Suing to reclaim the kidney is going to affect a third party who has no part in this bullshít.

The main problem is actually the abuse she received from her boss afterwards as stated here:

After Brucia returned to work, she’d yell at Stevens in front of co-workers over alleged mistakes, Stevens said.

Stevens said that her office and overtime were eventually taken away and that she was demoted to a dealership 50 miles from her home in a high-crime neighborhood that co-workers jokingly called “Siberia.’’ Experiencing mental anguish, she consulted a psychiatrist. and her lawyers wrote a letter to the company — after which Stevens was quickly fired, the papers state.

If I were her, I'd get my F**King kidney back is what I'd do.....

be hilarious if her body rejects the kidney and kills her, that'll learn her.

Dangerous Man

She was lucky to have a job.

Knew there'd be more to it - not that the boss doesn't seem like a ****.

The way the initial report is written reminds me of:

"SHE was a university honours student who devoted her life to kids... until the night a grossly overweight pervert, named Homer Simpson gave her a crash course in depravity... Babysitter And The Beast!"
