If you read this site, it probably seems like everyone’s boss is a douchebag. To be fair, most of them are. But every once in a while we come across a story like this one.
In Morganton, NC (Lilit’s home state, which she is totally proud of), when admin assistant Lisa White needed a kidney transplant, she got one. From her boss.
Chris Jernigan, the director of Southmountain Children and Family Services in Nebo, said he had watched White, his friend and colleague of more than 11 years, struggle to come into work.
“I care very much about every employee and want to do everything I can to make it a better work place and to make their lives better,” Jernigan, of Morganton, said Wednesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “This was just one more thing that I was able to do to help out a good friend and an employee.”
Our minds? Officially blown. Giving someone a kidney is a pretty righteous thing to do, and giving it to the person who makes your copies? That totally qualifies you as awesome.
On the minus side, though, that assistant is never going to be able to play hooky from work without feeling guilty.
