Octomom Made Me Do It: Snoop and GetFired
By encinoman
Can you imagine losing your job over Octomom? That&;s what more than 20 Kaiser hospital employees are contemplating this morning. Apparently they couldn&;t contain themselves from looking at Nadya Suleman&;s records.
Even if they were looking for &;the frozen pop&; (the best description I ever heard of a sperm donor) or the tabloids were behind it, this summary judgement and punishment seems riduculously harsh. A warning would probably have worked for some of the curious.
By taking in this woman and deploying enormous resources (46 employees in the delivery room) without asking questions or asking for supplemental payments, Kaiser already has a lot to answer for. If I paid premiums there, I&;d be screaming.
And considering how hard it can be for a company to fire someone, one wonders if this is an easy way to cut costs and clean house.
