I'm glad I was able to intervene when an employee just didn't show up for a few days, couldn't get ahold of him. My manager (a good guy) asked me if I thought we should call the cops for a wellness check, I told him we couldn't call the cops on a disabled black guy.

Not sure what went down with him but he ended up calling in and he was okay. He either quit shortly after or never came back, I don't remember. Last I heard he was pursuing his passion teaching skiing to kids with cancer and disabilities. Cool dude.

Yeah my first thought seeing this was "oh that person is gonna get killed if they send the cops". Glad you had some smarts there. There have been multiple indigenous people killed in wellness checks in Canada as well in recent weeks.
