You Have Cancer? You're Fired!

Book excerpt: Anyone whom has had cancer this book may be for you. Maybe you are a loved one of someone with cancer this book may be for you. Anyone who is employed by a company this book may be for you. I have had many jobs over the past forty years. The first time I got fired it was because I told the owner of the company I have cancer. The boss was so nice about firing me. He even told me I was a great worker with a pleasant personality but, with cancer he felt I could not work. I took the Company to COURT! Cancer is not like a cold or the flu. Other people cannot catch it. Give your employee the benefit of the doubt. If they cannot work they will tell you. But give them the opportunity to make that decision. It is hard enough to deal with cancer let alone losing your job.
