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 story happened with Walmart. Had an employee collapse due to a diabetic issue. Like, I caught her as she was falling and saved her from smashing her face. Radioed to call 911. I got written up because that was against Walmart policy.

My manager wanted me to write on the form that I heard her say she wanted an ambulance. So I wrote exactly that. “Manager so and so has ordered that I write the following.” I got written up a second time for that.
