Missing three days of work is NOTHING for the BFD. Remember when the bodybuilder who claimed he was disabled was ordered back to work. He didn't come for over a week and even then they wouldn't fire him, they just said he doesn't seem to work here anymore. Every holiday the BFD workers have mass sick in calls, this guy was just getting used to their work ethic.

Blah, blah , blah. Menino's boys have a "nationwide" search for a person who should have been doing the type of duties to correct the problems and take care of routine maintenance that he was told about for years, eventually costing someone his life.

Just fire people who call in sick. I wonder if you would have the balls to fire someone who calls in sick for three days in a row. Get the FACTS (just like your capitalized words, BOZO).
