My husband worked in the Tire lube express, under a supervisor that openly offered prescription drugs to other co-workers. He would have to take certain weekends off and or time to attend my treatments for cancer. On more than one occasion he was told they did not believe he was at drill weeekend although proof was provided, the supervisor on more than one occasion would awnser a question with "whats that faggot", and when my husband stated he had a sore back the supervisor would offer presciption muscle relaxers, and say "I can't give you my pain meds, I keep those for me"
My husband reported these facts and provided his drill schedule for proof. He got his yearly review with flying colors and a raise. After reporting his deployment and that he would have 4 day drills, and weeks off in the upcoming months, he was terminated, but told he could re-apply when he returned. The reason they gave him was because the day before my husband took off for a veterens clinic appointment, he had told not one but 2 managers/supervisors and they said he failed to call and report... When he told them he would not be in. Georgia does not by law (as we were told) does not have to give a reason to fire someone..
THE KICKER-His manager stated "wal-mart is my main priority not the military..."
