So, back in January 2020 I was working at a used bookstore. Coolest place ever, they let you buy and sell books from them and to them. Pay was decent. Work was easy. I’d been there for about three months or so, and mentioned when I got hired on that I would be having heart surgery to put in a pacemaker on the 2nd of January. They okay’ed it, said they’d schedule me off for that day and the week following.
Time comes for the surgery, I go in, have it done, get out, have a missed call from work. I call back, they tell me, “We need someone who’s going to actually show up for their shifts. You’re fired”. WELL.
I have no proof it was because of my heart surgery, but I never did miss a day of work prior to it, and since then, I’ve had numerous friends go in and work for a day and state they’re having heart surgery so they must leave since they won’t be able to fulfill their shifts.
I love getting back at corporate places in the tiniest of ways, guys. Warms my heart.
