Even if you just lost your marriage, house, and a relative perished the day before.

I had gotten back from a month off work due to my dad dying. The very next month they fired me all because I refused to take one troubleshooting call that would've turned my shift into a back-to-back.

That was a year and a half ago. I'm still looking for work.

    In 1997 I lost my mom and got a week off from work because we had a local service but also had to travel a day away for where most of her family was and where part of her remains were to be buried (cremation).

    A week or so after that, I got the flu. They fired me because they had already given me time off for my mother's passing, and now I wanted time off for being sick?

    Yep. Companies give no fucks.
