No good deed goes unpunished
I am sure that when Dan Coyne donated his kidney to Myra de la Vega, a single parent he hardly knew, he never expected the fall out he has gotten.
Coyne is a teacher in Evanston Ill. and the people there have declared him a hero. The school there even had a day specially for him and made the idea of his gift part of the school curriculum. With many people waiting for a kidney and so few available, it was truly a gift of love and life. As a mother of a son who needs a kidney, I understand what a great gift this was.
But apparently now the god of the bureaucracy has decided to make this kind man’s life a living hell. He will have to move from Evanston to Chicago or lose his job! This is after telling him earlier that would not be necessary.
For some reason it is being said that he has shown conduct unbecoming an employee. This was not explained in the article that I read. But this makes no sense whatsoever. Coyne now has to move to Chicago and leave his family, community and the church he loves.
I would like to be able to wrap this up without emotion but I can’t. Has the world gone mad? What is the reason for this? Does no good deed go unpunished?
