Rug Doctor said the company has offered back pay and no break in seniority to former sales representative Bernard Chippie. But it's unclear if he will take the carpet-cleaning company up on its offer. "I don't think the offer is one of compassion. They Quote I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.

tizz Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 With the family leave act you have to apply for extended leave as it was explained to me.

Your propensity for appearing an even larger ass that I take you for never ceases to amaze me. I thought the same thing when I read his post. Do we have her email so we could send this thread to her? tizz said it right. His job should've known about his situation and compensated for it. She had brain cancer. It didn't happen over night. If he doesn't have a union he should sue. Although I hate our sue happy society. But it'll teach these employers they can't jerk people around. I would've been pissed! I wonder if it effected the rest of his family finacally. Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws. That's just insane!" Penn & Teller NEVER FORGOTTEN

snafu Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 The employer has to have a good reason to fire him. They were probably going to fire him anyway. They just used it as an excuse. Who else could be that cold? Hmmm…… Hugo, sixes maybe. And I ain't no liberal!! Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws. That's just insane!"

TheJenn88 Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Seems kind of dumb to risk your job just so you can watch someone croak. I sincerely hope you die alone. Not only alone, but painfully, and also regretting every bitter and apathetic moment of your life. Whatever person you have in your life that loves you - I feel sorry for them. They are, without a doubt, too good for you. When you're on your deathbed, I hope they're out shopping, or drinking wine and celebrating, and going to work during the day. This woman needed to be cared for. She was dying. Her last few days - and this man loved her enough to want to spend the rest of his life with her. He can't just say fuck all to that compassion and partnership for a JOB. Money, you fucking idiot, is NOT everything. Fuck your capitalist ass and everything associated with it. Quote

BHAHAHAHAHA You associate and side yourself with sixes. I laugh. He may be trying to make a turn around, but he once (maybe still is?) was an idiot. I laugh at you. Quote

That might be the reason for his obviously bitter attitude toward just about anything that matters. Life is too short to waste on ass holes like him, if he does have someone in his life she/he can't be too bright. Quote I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.

Sounds like someone who can't keep someone close to them. Oh, that is why you had a child..children can't leave you. You are sad. The fact you have had children is a good argument for liberalized abortion laws.

Quarky1.0 Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 This is pathetic, any employer who cares so little for there employee is a fucking moron and deserves to loose what they have. A death in the family is both heart wrenching and heart breaking, and its immoral to threaten or fire someone who wants/needs to be with a dying loved one. If you have never lost someone close you, don't know what the hell you are talking about and if you have, and say its fine for the employer to be so callus as to fire an employee who wishes to be with a dying loved one, have a good long hard look in the mirror, because you are what is wrong with human and the world would be a better place if you were flushed at birth. Death of a loved on, is the worse thing anyone can go through and I hope to hell the guy sews the hell out of his ex-employer. Quote
RoyalOrleans Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Death of a loved on' date=' is the worse thing anyone can go through and I hope to hell the guy sews the hell out of his ex-employer.[/quote'] No, my dear Quarky, losing a loved one is not the worse thing that could ever happen. Watching a loved one writhe in pain and suffer from an illness all the time knowing that there is nothing you can do for them, is far worse. Sometimes death is a sweet relief.
