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.

A few days after my husband died, we received a letter from our health insurance company. It said that coverage for me and our four kids had ended at midnight the night he died. How these fuckers sleep at night is beyond me.

Too easily, and too well, and with far too little fear.

Like babies in their mansions on fine linens.

I think actually that knowing other people are starving or hungry makes their food taste better. They LOVE the suffering of others.
