Im halfway across the country from my family. And I need to be able to pay all my bills and stuff still... This. We don't know his wages and hours. We don't know his cost of living. Could be a bad day away from being broke. It's easy to sit in our houses and judge, and think we'd do better. It's harder to say what we'd do for sure. And to be fair, that could go either direction. But at the end of the day, unless someone has actually been in that situation it's all speculation. Many people can't afford to get fired. They can't just pick up a new job at the drop of a hat. At the end of the day it sucks, it really does. But I'm reserving my judgements for the way things are that that worker would have genuine reason to fear being fired and/or sued for helping another person. <cite>ChaosAzeroth posted [p:942458792] in FedEX Deli...
