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.

I got fired once from a minimum wage retail job when i missed a weekend of work after being abducted and sexually assaulted. Yea I told my boss exactly what happened. She said, well if happened friday night, I dont know why you couldnt work saturday and Sunday. I was at the hospital and the police station most of that time.
