Crystal Reynolds Fisher of Michigan is living every mother's nightmare.Her 18-year-old son is on life support after running a fever of 104 and doctorsare still figuring out what caused his condition.
Like any mother would, Fisher called out of work so she could stay by her son's side in the hospital. However, the reaction she received from her manager is more heartless than she ever could have expected.
Last week a mother was pushed into a inhuman decision. She was asked to choose between being there for her child who is on life support and keeping her service job at a store called “Folk Oil.”
Her child on life support and his future unsure she did what any person would do and let her manager know ahead of time that she would be absent due to a family emergency. What followed after that was down right disgusting.
Her boss (read petty bourgeoisie) decided that the concerns of “folk oil” and the subsidiary “PS FOOD MART”, a chain of gas station connected retails, outweighted the humanity of Crystal (The Working Mother) and her child who was on life support.
She put it rather directly “ I have a store to run that’s my focus.”

On Saturday, Fisher uploaded screenshots of the text exchange to her Facebook page and the post was shared over 70,000 times. By Monday, the story had reached the Folk Oil corporate office and the manager was swiftly fired.
After learning that her manager was let go, Fisher told station WWMT all she had to say to her former boss is, "I pray for you."
This is what the Right-to-work/Gig/contractor/understaffed/service-only Economy gets you. You are a replaceable subsidiary. You are here only as a means to profit and your humanity is quite mutable to the owners and Managers.
