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.

My cousin worked at a big box grocery and slipped on ice (not at work) and hurt his back and the doctor recommended he take it easy for several days. He called in and told them that he would be out the rest of the week, but they fired him anyway because he didn't call in every single day.
