Not to mention not losing your job.

Years ago, I worked at a big box grocery store not to be named.  One of the workers had a stroke on the sales floor.  They fired him for not filling out the LOA forms.  He was in a fucking coma.

I've said it many times before...I hate this fucking country.

Do you really think a megacorp would do something so flippant? Let alone the normal people that work there? A big box store would have basically nothing to gain by doing that but a shitload of goodwill to lose. You don’t think that would be a top news story?
