    No harm, no foul. There's three hot-button topics that almost always turn into brawls...politics, unions, and religion.
    That's why we have special places in the forum where those things can be discussed without everybody and their brother chiming in.
    I admire people who take their faith seriously but my main job here is to keep the peace.

    Hear hear.

    Amen to that. Who knows, you might find something to kick loose when this is all over.

    If at all possible if you can acquire or make honest to goodness shepards pie just how you like it. You will find a stack of them in a situation of storage in which moisture would not damage the quality of the crust etc. (Hows that for a huge sentence.)

    With that in mind I should go learn how to make the stuff all over again, starting with steak fajitas.

    My best guess is that they didn't fire you to save money on the medical bills. Fatigue being a side effect of cancer and driving creates tremendous liability on their part if anything were to happen while you were working for them.

    You're probably right about them being worried about. If something were to happen but I'm pretty sure he had to have forms filled out with doctor approval along with DOT qualifications in order to report back to work and that clears them as far as they are concerned but their insurance company is throwing a hissy fit and wants him fire because this doesn't clear them from liability

    Another issue to mention is the fact that they must've told him what they were doing veiwing hrs of him doing his job , i see no reason to inform this man of this unless they were trying to make him feel uncomfortable enough to quit ....in essence they have let him know they want fire him and who knows maybe OD is caught in the middle of this situation between their insurance company and their driver.
