    US politicians can disappear from their jobs for 6 months without losing them. Meanwhile, you or I disappear for 3 days and it's job abandonment.

    I'd say the US government was a funny joke if it wasn't at our expense.

      Try 1 day, or even a few hours late

      These fucking ghouls

      I hope this person still has tormentuous moments of lucidity where she feels nothing but pain and fear

        i got absolutely bombed one night before work, missed my alarm and woke to a voicemail from my boss telling me i was "terminated". it was only 2 hours into my shift.

        i didn't care at all to be honest because i wasn't planning on being a prep cook for the rest of my life anyway

        Fair point. I had an employer who would write people up for being 1 minute late at one point. I was only considering the job abandonment aspect, not the other parts.
