The Evil Empire…or how I learned that the real world sucks more than I thought it did

As is their legal right, the Evil Empire recently told a coworker of mine that he will be laid off in two weeks after his medical leave runs out because he was unable to beat his cancer in the federally-allotted 12 weeks of time. Once the lay-off is official, his health insurance will disappear and if he wants to continue fighting for his life, he’ll need to foot the $350 monthly health insurance bill as well as continue to pay for what his health insurance won’t cover.

In recognition of the fact that I need to tread very carefully when discussing anything about my company, I won’t pass any judgment…but I hope that my faithful readers know that they are strongly encouraged to pick up the slack…
