N.Y. Mom Fired After Donating Kidney to Help Her Boss


By ASHLEY JENNINGS
April 23, 2012
A New York Long Island woman said she was fired after she donated a kidney to help save the life of her boss.

Debbie Stevens, a 47-year-old divorced mother of two, filed a formal complaint with the New York State Human Rights Commission last Friday, claiming her boss used her for her organ then fired her "after the woman got what she wanted." Stevens' boss, 61-year-old Jackie Brucia, is one of the West Islip controllers for Atlantic Automotive Group, a billion-dollar dealership operator. Brucia hired Stevens in January 2009 as an assistant.

"She just started treating me horribly, viciously, inhumanly after the surgery," Stevens told ABCNews.com. "It was almost like she hired me just to get my kidney." Although Stevens turned out to be less than a perfect kidney match for Brucia, Stevens donated her organ to an out-of-state stranger so that Brucia could move up on the organ donor list.

Stevens left the company in June 2010 to move to Florida. She returned to New York in September to visit her daughter, and decided to stop in at the dealership, according to the complaint. It was during this visit that Brucia told Stevens of her need for a kidney transplant.

(Note: Atlantic Automotive Group goes by the business name "NY Auto Giant". There is an unrelated Atlantic Auto Group in Atlantic City, New Jersey that has no affiliation with these a-holes, yet they have unfortunately been caught in some of the crossfire.)

1. Strange story. n/t

2. ...speechless...

That is the coldest and cruelest behavior I have ever heard of. I can't imagine Debbie won't win her case but it's so sad that such a generous and lovely act was turned into something so painful and ugly.

3. She rehired her, got the kidney, then fired her

Jackie Brucia is accused of re-hiring a former employee, after she offered to donate her kidney and then fire her after the operation.

4. It's not clear if she's gotten her kidney yet....

...but we know she lacks a heart.

5. You've got to be kidney!

Cough... this story doesn't sound right. Who would give a kidney to their boss? Much less if there's any room for poor treatment? I don't get it.
