If you behave like a mule, you will be treated as one. 27 years of work is way over the line of “he didnt have any chance to move on or get promoted”.

“He originally began working at this job as a single father when he gained custody of me and my older sister 27 years ago," his daughter Seryna wrote in a message on the fundraising page. “Then as our family grew and he remarried, he continued to work there because of the amazing health insurance that was provided through this employer because it was unionized. This got all four of his daughters through high school and college with full healthcare coverage.”
“My dad continues to work there, because though he does look young, he is coming up on retirement age and leaving would cost him his retirement," she added.
Absolutely shameful behavior to call someone supporting their children a mule.

Just as others have pointed out, some people will look at this and get angry because his job isn’t “good enough” to earn him a house.
That guy is one of those people.

Sometimes I think a requisite period of severe poverty and/or homelessness should be requisite for every American. Like Hunger Games: Marginalization Edition.

You read the article as well. I was shocked the insurance is that good. I find articles like this a mixed bag. Good for him. Sounds like a hard working man. Sad that he had to have donations to buy a home.
