Imagine: Legitimate charity work by an employee results in firing.
Stacey Feamall of Owen Sound, Ontario, raised $2,700 for cancer research by having her long, red hair shaved to a military buzz cut.
That’s a lot of money for one person to raise for medical research. But her bosses at Nathaniel’s Restaurant where she worked part-time as a waitress weren’t impressed.
They told her to take the summer off without pay until her hair grew back, according to the Toronto Star.
Feamall’s other part-time employer was much more impressed by her fundraising success. The Annan Way Garden Nursery said her job there was secure.
Nursery owner Pat Brooking told the Star, “We’re 100% behind her — and anyway, she looks kind of cute.”
