My dad was fired from his job today. He worked there for 8 years. He just tore a part of his knee, so he needs an ACL surgery. For 7 years he was fine, and then last year a new boss came to the job. This man and my father could find no way to get along. The company didn't move my dad to a new department, they didn't warn my dad about this, they just let him hobble in on crutches to be fired. My dad makes 1 & 2/3 times what my mother makes. We have always been okay, never poor. We aren't rich, but we buy what we want even if we don't need it. How does this happen to a family? We don't deserve this, my dad doesn't deserve this. I don't know what we are going to do. my dad can't work until his knee heals, and there is no given time for his recovery.
