My very first job in the Fork industry....I was 19 years old, fresh out of college, and never done anything more than occasionaly drive a forklift in my life. On Monday of my 2nd week (day 6) I recieved a phone call that my dad had been rushed to the hospital, and was not doing well. I ran into my service manager's office, and told him what was going on, and his only response--"Family first. Call me when you know how much time off you need." --
I'm still with the same company today, but unfortunately not under the same management.
