@maporsche,
that's the way it's written.

the real world is not so friendly.

and the insurance they provide comes from a company that has access to the knowledge that I am unwell.

and my health is the reason I was let go from my last full time position.

(I know, I can file a lawsuit about that, too...)

Understood; I had to fire an employee who had to take time off for health-related reasons. He was doing his job very well when he was here, but it came to a point where he could only show up to work about 40% of the time I needed him there. This went on for months before I really had to do something about it.

And they can't tell Walmart anything either. Not legally.

Your health directly, or the consequences that your health had on your ability to do the job?

And even if Bear does get fired from Walmart, at least he'll get healthcare for a few months beforehand. Get some stuff checked out.

Easier said than done, for sure. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

The really frustrating thing is that generally, unless something is going on in it's formative stages I don't know about.... I'm healthy as a horse and a damn good risk.
