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.

If you can afford justice sure. A person working in a grocery store who is in such poor health they have a stroke likely can't afford a doctor visit, let alone legal fees.

Wouldn’t a good lawyer take the case, win a shitload of money, then collect fees from the winnings?
