"I don’t see anything wrong. It’s business, nothing personal. They still have a business to run and her position probably plays a big factor in the company."
She said:
"Never said that. The message is for people to take care of themselves first before worrying about a job."

"When I lost my job after catching COVID they fired me for missing too much work. I was eager to return but they said no. That was in October. They still haven't replaced me. I went on every job site & told my story. Let them know what you're worth. I didn't until it was too late."
@MorgansBME said:
"2 years ago, my store manager died in a car accident leaving work and the next day they hired somebody for his position like he was nothing. Didn’t had no memorial, no balloon release or nothing. Just a pic and a reef ... that’s Walmart for ya."
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that another Twitter user with the name Ismaeel wrote about how he was sacked by Amazon because he asked for Friday off for 2020 Sallah celebration.
