My stepfather, Todd unfortunately passed away a few days ago. He was the closest person to me. He entered my life when I was 4 and raised me. He was an incredible man who saved my mom and me from a terrible situation. I wouldn't be where I am today without him. However, in Todd's final months, he felt betrayed by @ConnectWise , the company to which he had dedicated so much time. He had won numerous awards for the company and never took time off. Despite having a remote job and still being able to perform his tasks, he wanted to inform the company about his stage 4 cancer diagnosis out of respect. ConnectWise immediately placed him on paid leave, and once that ended, he lost his health and life insurance. He hadn't heard from the company's management either, having only the standard conversation with HR. ConnectWise didn't break any laws. They likely followed their usual protocol. However, that's my issue. The way corporations handle these situations is morally corrupt. We aren't seeking money from ConnectWise. What Todd, my mom and I hoped for was that the multi-billion-dollar company would treat my dying stepfather like a human being. They discarded him as if he meant nothing to them. My goal here is to hopefully get companies like ConnectWise to change their policies around employees who are diagnosed with terminal illnesses.
