UPDATE: She sued for 15 million and got an undisclosed settlement in 2014.

The boss didn't just need a kidney, she needed a heart and a soul.
-
This is why nice people are very rare, their generosity is rarely reciprocated.
-
The boss sounds like she fits the description of a Narcissist PERFECTLY.
-
Literally any sane person would understand her taking a day off. It’s disgusting how that woman treated this woman who possibly saved her life.
-
“Sounds like a personal problem.” How do you say that to someone who’s not feeling well BECAUSE THEY GAVE YOU A KIDNEY?!?
-
I donated my kidney to a stranger. I did not meet recipient until day of surgery. I was 23 years old and healing was HELL. SO PAINFUL! I don't take pain meds (addiction runs in my family) and for 6 weeks you're not able to lift over 10 pounds. My doctor told me the recipient heals faster when it's successful because they get something they needed, and the donor loses something they didn't need to lose. Her boss really was wrong and so frustrating to hear this.
-
She didn't ask for a promotion, she didn't asked for millions b4 the lawsuit. She was just recovering and carrying on but instead the boss was scared she's gonna owe her savior favors for the rest of her life. Which she should btw.

when the boss was searching for a kidney the woman shouldve just said SoUnDs lIke A peRsOnal PrOBlem
-
Most who donate a body part to help another don't expect anything in return. However, to be fired resulting from damage to her body related to that very selfless act of a donation is beyond evil...
-
"People are going to think you're getting special treatment." Uhhhh, she should!
-
My son and I will forever be grateful to the stranger whose family donated his kidney🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
-
"I don't want to show you special treatment." Gives her especially bad treatment instead
-
I would’ve taken my kidney back with bare hands & a butter knife. Later on feed that to a dog cause they are more faithful as well as grateful than human beings.

Several years ago, my cousin received a kidney from her oldest sister. I remember the middle sister found some kind of funding for people who get kidney surgery (they have money for everything). She got the money, but didn't share it with the sister who gave her the kidney. Fast forward to now...that kidney is failing. This boss better be careful. Kidneys can fail you at any given time.
-
"No good deed goes unpunished." a phrase that is unfortunately alive and well, especially in todays age of social media and the increase of individualism and narcissism.
-
"people are going to think you're getting special treatment" she kinda should be getting special treatment she cut out an organ and gave it to you. There are not a whole lot of employees out there that would do that.
-
She got Justice. Debbie sued for 14 million and got an undisclosed settlement in 2014. (This usually means somewhere in the millions) she got the last laugh!!
-
This lady was incredibly generous, in my 25 years of working I've never come across a boss that would be deserving of my kidney, not one. I would only give up a kidney for a family member or a very good friend.
-
The boss lady should've come to thank her, in person, and spontaneously given her 3 months' paid leave -- to recover.
