I lost my job today.

My boss didn't approve of me going to doctor once a week so she told me today that she had to let me go. That she has a business to run and 8 weeks of me being gone on Friday afternoon was not going to work for her.

With the fractured spine I can't even go skydiving.

That's just a shitty thing for her to do. I'm so sorry to hear that.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

That sucks!!

Check your state laws - it may be possible to keep the job or sue for wrongful termination, depending on the circumstances... Good luck!!

Thanks everyone for the pm's and the reply's to this post.

I have been thinking about doing my freelance graphic design full time for quite awhile, now I guess I can really work on it full time.

I can also get my packing class done for my A license.

Call an attorney, perhaps you can sue them under the ADA.

YUP! you can't get rid of someone, just cuz they are under a docs care. If that's the reason they gave, if it's on your termination papers, go get your job back. But then they will find some other reason. You need to request your file immediately. Call a lawyer..

How about if she doesn't plan on sueing? What's with the lawsuit craze?

I agree with you Frenchy and my husband is in the legal biz so we live based on people suing other people. I don't have any plan on suing.

I actually have gotten 4 job offers in the last hour from my bosses clients. So I will just have to decide how long I want to be off work before I accept one of them or none of them.

I'm not advocating filing any lawsuits, but something to think about is do you qualify for protection under the Family Medical Leave Act?

Certain business don't fall under the FMLA and the employee must have worked at their business for one calendar year and must have worked 1250 hours within the last calendar year.

If you qualify, a complaint to the Department of Labor may be in order. You boss can't even have a discussion about your missing work for doctor's appointments if you qualify for protection or you can sue him/her individually along with the business.

Again, I'm not advocating a lawsuit, just stating fact.

What better way to kick your boss in the ass by going to work for one of her clients? That'll show the bitch... just as long as they understand your medical needs.

Hi Donna

ADA,Family leave act, Sueing

Don't know how long you worked with the boss lady, but by moving on and not looking back you have immediate closure.

Who knows what the boss ladies problem was but it's not yours
BTW how tall are you
