Woman 'Sacked' After Giving Boss a Kidney!
A New York woman who donated a kidney so her ailing boss would move up the transplant waiting list says she was fired shortly after the operation, according to a complaint she filed with the New York State Division of Human Rights
To help her boss move up the transplant waiting list, Debbie Stevens, 47, donated her kidney to a man in Missouri, enabling her employer to secure a perfect match from someone in San Francisco, the New York Post reported Monday in an exclusive story.
Stevens told the New York Post that her boss, Jackie Brucia, 61, put the pressure on for her to return to work soon after the procedure even though she didn’t feel well enough. Once Stevens came back to her job at the Atlantic Automotive Group (AAG) in September, the divorced mother says that she lost her overtime pay and was demoted to a dealership 50 miles from her home.
Stevens has now filed a legal complaint at the New York Human Rights Commission claiming that the woman groomed her for the organ and then fired her - but Brucia has thanked her for the gift.
'I will always be grateful that she gave me a kidney,' Brucia told 1010 WINS-AM radio. 'I have nothing bad to say about her. I will always be grateful to her - she did a wonderful thing for me.'
For Stevens to get her kidney back, it would involve at least four surgeries.
