I heard a coworker, field level, who is on long term disability got the email that has went to all the fired folks. How the he-l is that legal? Technically they are not working beng on leave so how can they be expected to participate in that call. Seems super shady as usual. Hope she makes it thru but seems doubtful not sure if she took the call or not. This rumor went thru our group like sh-t thru a goose.

@bt This is unclear because Post ID: @dg+1kj32bwrt fails to clarify that actions a company can take with an employee on “leave” are governed by one or more of the following: company policy, collective bargaining agreement language, state law, or federal legislation. Also, the label “lay off” is rarely used as the termination reason of an employee on a leave of absence.
Someone being on leave does not make them immune to layoffs. Any company that has laid off employees does the same thing. It's not just a Walgreens thing.
If no layoffs can happen while people are on leave, wouldn't people just all request to go on leave? hehe
This post is about as clear as mud....??
