Sounds like he did you a favor. That “policy” is pretty standard in Asian owned companies.
No fine worth witnessing or being a part of a fatality. I’d have quit the second he said that and reported it to OSHA.

it's cold but yeah you aren't in the protective bubble of government / military employment any longer.

This thread just keeps getting dumber.

Maybe they fired him because they care a lot about him. A few days in and already down for 2 days means that isn't the right job for him. He went back for more and they did what was best for him because he clearly wouldn't have.

Seriously, this has to be the dumbest thread of the month.

Anybody calling out after one week is going to be a problem. Hit the bricks.

Not the same at all. It completely immobilizes you in fear of extreme pain from a small movement.

Those can be pretty lengthy.
You likely spent a month going through the process, getting interviewed by everyone to determine if you are a good culture fit. And they kicked you out for taking a couple of days without even seeing how chronic it will be?
Something isn’t adding up.
The old mantra of "Hire slow, fire fast." It can seem harsh, but it's usually best for all involved if people get fired early.

Whatever. You've been such a pissy little bitch since your divorce. Continue on.

Prob a good thing. I had a coworker that never got hers right, retired early.

I think this is why you got fired, not sciatica. It'll come back to bite him when someone dies on the jobsite

Mikita's Manager, Glen: Yeah, I know how that feels.
Davy: Know what I'd like to do?
Mikita's Manager, Glen: Yeah I know what you'd like to do. You'd like to find the guy who did it, rip his still beating heart out of his chest and hold it in front of his face so he can see how black it is before he dies.
Davy: Actually, I was thinking of filing a grievance with the union.
Mikita's Manager, Glen: Well, the world's a twisted place.

Know a Baw who owns a construction company who will not hire military. Said he made the mistake of hiring some Seabees early in his career and they were the laziest workers he’s ever hired. Different cultcha Baw.
Not aimed at anyone in general but freshly separated military people are notoriously bad employees for the first couple of years (and usually several jobs) into their private sector careers. The longer they have been in and the younger they were in the worse they are. It is not their fault, they are not bad people because of it, it is just the culture of the military which robs them of the experience of learning to fight and scratch for their jobs from an early age.
While in the military they worked for a company that has 2 very unique qualities not found anywhere in the private sector, even government service. The military has no profit motive. None. They are also accustomed to having more money in the budget than they know what to do with. They never had a problem that could not be fixed by tossing unlimited money at it. Neither of those situations exist outside of the military. Again, not the fault of the people, its the nature of the beast. These two facts lead to a very strange management philosophy that will not translate at all to the private sector. Being managed in that environment also does not translate at all.

I went to the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship about 10 years ago 3 out of 4 days with a real bad case of Sciatica, and did way more walking than I should have. Unreal pain with each step I took on my right side, but I sucked it up.
You could have sucked it up and went to work, unless you play soccer!

Your boss was probably from the south side of Chicago.
