Woman Donated Kidney To Her Boss And Got Fired For Taking To Long To Recover by Morbeta11(op): 6:45am On Jul 08, 2025
The post refers to a 2012 incident where Debbie Stevens, a New York mother, was fired by her boss Jackie Brucia after donating a kidney to help her move up the organ donor list, a case documented by ABC News, highlighting the ethical breach of trust in workplace dynamics.

Recovery from kidney donation typically takes 6-12 weeks for a return to normal activities, per Lahey Hospital & Medical Center’s guidelines, suggesting Stevens’ firing for "taking too long" may reflect unrealistic employer expectations rather than medical necessity.

This case contrasts with altruistic donation successes, like Dylan Matthews’ 2016 non-directed kidney donation at Johns Hopkins, where risks were minimized via advanced surgery, underscoring how employer gratitude—or lack thereof—can dramatically affect donor outcomes

it's not wickedness but the boss get sense pass her.

If I am to do that for anyone I will have the boss sign it that I own at least 20% of the stakes in that company.

Let others learn..

Keep your kidneys to yourself. If not a really trusted family member don't donate.

Even if anyone goes on their knees...You need your kidneys...

Omo... See rhymes 😎
Re: Woman Donated Kidney To Her Boss And Got Fired For Taking To Long To Recover by CrownedPhoenix:
Is it even remotely possible that the donor was paid for the kidney? And so, strictly business?

Just trying to make sense of this.

Assuming this story is even true there is no way for her to collect the kidney because she did not donate it directly to her boss.

She only made a donation of a kidney to a random person so that her boss would have the right to be moved up the waiting list in terms of priority

It seems it did, but not in the way most blogs claim it did. Firstly, her boss actually never got her kidney.

Never trust people around your work environment either boss or whoever. Note your colleague is not your friend likewise your boss, stop going extra mile for them cos you will get hurt when it's not reciprocated.
