I quit 3 months into the job. Does that mean I'm entitled to the remaining 9 months of pay? Come on people, get a life. Welcome to the real world.

You can bet that this publicized dishonesty will be very disturbing to their larger contributors. No one at the country club wants to be known as the guy that gives to schools that screw teachers. Not only that but I'm sure that the parishioners have lots of stories of disturbing corner cutting on the part of Mr. Abramson that have not made the press. Having this story in print validates and empowers others. Have faith. :D

They didn't pay the teahcer what she was due so they saved money, some other chump paid her for them so they are off the hook. They got some bad press but I doubt this will cost them anything in the long run. Sounds like they won to me.

Institutions supposedly based on the same principles can be quite the opposite. Too bad that Johnson's compassion ended up enabling St. Luke's to get away with being jerks. They'll do it again until somebody takes them to court. It’s a familiar theme: individuals who live by a set of principles can be wonderful.
