>>this to me on Friday at 4pm...seems criminal to me. My grandmother is also very sick. I have a note excusing me from work at any time she gets worse or needs to be transported somewhere. She is in the hospital right now because she just suffered a stroke last week. She had been living with us up til about a month ago. My wife and I would like to take her home with us again but my employer is enforcing mandatory overtime every Friday now which would make that impossible to do. I work in a knife factory and I'm very burned out, I'm sick all the time I've been to the hospital at least once a month for various reasons and working another 10 hours every week is just going to make me sicker, is there anything I can do??
