You guys kind of missed the point. No shi*t most companies wouldn't pay him for two months. I never said that. I was saying that I'm sure there are companies out there that have individuals working for them that actually have a heart and not hole where it shoud be. The write up, which may have been policy or not, was a little callous and was probably presented to him just as Erac presents everything to its employees----deal with it or you're blacklisted. As it is, I'm sure that he was blacklisted the moment he called and said he needed time off. There is NOTHING that should be more important to an Erac employee than the big picture and making the company money, right? As for verifying 5 companies, I am really not going to waste my time. And if you really want to "call human resources" and verify, you must be a true coc*kgobbler!! I would think that of the numerous and various companies out there, there are many that actually care about its employees enough to show some understanding for something like that. I don't have "hard evidence" but as they say, it's a numbers game, right? I realize that business is bussiness, but there is also something called right and wrong. It's sounds fuc*kin corny, but to me it should take precedent. I am well aware that it's not a perfect world, but you guys seem to have been hardened by something(whether it be a job, the way you were treated, your mommy didn't hold you enough, etc..) Whatever, the reason, you guys, like me, most likely have no fuc*kin' idea what it's like to lose a child.

Erac DOES NOT care about its employees. I saw employees that got pregnant and were instructed by their doctors not to be on their feet so long, and were told that they would be letting th team down. I saw employees that were made to feel extremely guilty because they wanted to take time off to get married and go on a honeymoon. I saw employees who came into work extremely ill, and were looked down upon as weaklings who needed to step it up that day. Point being, it seems like upper manager leaves their hearts at the door when they accepted the position. Yes, they make a lot of money, but I don't know how the hell you could look at yourself everyday and actually feel that you're a good person, when you treat people that way. You don't need hard evidence or call to "verify" that to realize that it's not right. I'm not the "expert" on anything, as someone said. But it SHOULD be common fuc*kin sense on how to treat people.
