Deke's Note: I had hoped Dear Sam #5 would be the last for a while. Then he went and pissed me off. Again. He hasn't learned. I hope this one teaches him a valuable lesson about being the GM of one of Oregon's top employers. He obviously has a lot to learn.

Hey Boss, why you trying to kill me? All of us were “Heroes” during Covid-19 according to your signs. We worked through it. You hid from it. We deserve better than being afraid to take care of ourselves when health issues confront us.
