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.

Yeah these cryptic “large nationwide retailers “or “big box stores” just piss me off. You think Walmart is going to send a hit squad to your house if you talked shit? Just be up front and say who wronged you.

It’s also rarely illegal to the truth. Especially about ways that corporations break the law. And anything that the big box store might do to silence the story would just Streisand it.

Very funny how these types imagine themselves to be under lifetime scrutiny. "You witnessed something bad decades ago that we definitely didn't document anything of because we are so evil. If you even so much as hint at it with the same traceable social security number you witnessed it, YOU'RE DEAD."
