Wegman's Tweets Job Offer To Bus-Bullying Victim
Jun 24, 2012, 10:46 AM
If 68-year-old Karen Klein decides she doesn’t want to continue to work with the maggoty middle-schoolers of Greece, N.Y., Wegmans Food Markets says it would be happy to hire her, tweeting #KarenKlein demonstrated grace and courage. She hasn’t yet, but she’s welcome to apply for a job @Wegmans.”
Since the video, a 10-minute hatefest, went up on YouTube, it’s generated more than a million views and an outpouring of support, including nearly a half-a-million dollar vacation fund for the school bus monitor, a warm-and-fuzzy video message from Marines at Fort Meade, Maryland, who promise to have her back, and a trip to Disneyland from Southwest Airlines.
