It’s a little perplexing that he signs a contract with Detroit and 3 months later a week before the season starts he enters the PAP. So his issue developed sometime in the last 3 months? I mean if a company hired me for a year on a set salary of 100 k and the day before I start my year long contract I enter their employee assistance program and still get paid, I don’t think the company would be too thrilled…
I know a guy that got head hunted for a senior exec position in a publicly traded company. 4 months into the job He had a massive heart attack, emergency quadruple bypass . Obviously a long recovery before he went back first part and then full time. But I guess the company should have fired him after his cardiac episode because he probably was sick before he started. Pathetic.
Like others said, f*** the company and people who think that way. And I say that as someone who worked as an executive in a large company and had important people “exit” workflow at critical times for me personally in terms of the work I needed done. My needs were less than important at that point though. Their treatment and recovery was what was important.
Good grief even thinking this way.
