Jeanette_Isabelle Carpal Tunnel Registered: 11/13/06 Posts: 2952 Loc: Nacogdoches, Texas	As I read stories like this, I keep reading the same thing. He or she did not tell anyone about their plans. Therefore, no one knows they are in trouble. Why do we see this so often?

Americans, if they break a leg, sue their employer: https://www.keyt.com/news/santa-barbara-...tion/1122622965 This situation is going to get ugly real quick!
