Ultimately, the woman involved in this main stream media story could have performed CPR on the elderly resident against her employers policy. After showing some display of humanity, she could then have discussed her employment contract with the corporate human resources manager, even if it was for her own future and current mental health state to protect herself against the effects of her employers corporate morality learned helplessness.


Ultimately all of us need a job unless we are independently wealthy. Someone who clearly understood their employer's requirements did as she agreed to do when she was hired. The time to object to the employer's rules was long before this incident. It is OK to not like the rules you are employed under, but you do not get to break them w/o consequence once you accept employment. If one does not like the rules one is employed under, it is NOT acceptable IMO to decide that when the time comes one will do as one pleases. If you don't like the rules, don't accept the man's money.
