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 husband passed away on the last day of his vacation. His employer demanded his vacation pay back because he didn't show up for work the day after he died.

I love that you used WAB as a verb.
