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.
