I'm screwed

“We kinda figured, Rev   ;-)   The other way just didn't make any sense.

Go get 'em, Pammie!   Rip 'em a new one!”

“I feel much better now Rev, thank you!”

“I would break out the lawyer and sue them for wrongful discharge. Many will handle the case for a percentage.

You could also tell the parent company to cough up 3 months severance pay or else.

If you were hurt on the job then only 4 days of leave need be used before its a short term disability.

If you were a union member this would be just a nice vacation for you.”

“The original injury was on another job in 2002. The flare up was on November 06's backpack. This particular flare up was a week or more after a backpack. The thing is, why do I have Chondromalacia Patella at my age? All I can think is, it has something to do with standing for 8 hours, and this is my pivot leg. Whenever I turn around from my cash register to the customer, I pivot on my left leg, (I actually noticed it one day), I've been at this job for almost 4 years.”

“You'd never make it as a pivot man...err...person.”

“cute nimble. i needed a laugh today. especially after nearly crying.”

“That has been repeated countless times by countless people but it is simply not true.

If you give your prospective employer permission to call your past employer, they can ask anything they want that is pertinent to the job. Your past employer can answer anything they want as long as they are giving a true statement. They are NOT allowed to slander you.

[i]However most past employers (particularly large companies) prefer to only state that you worked there and if you are eligible for rehire. But that is an internal decision and not a global hard and fast rule.[/i]

That just didn't sound right to me either....

“found a way to get rid of me

How can he put you out? Taking leave is a personal chouce. If you have a cold he can't tell you to go home. Careful, he may claim you chose to go out. I would talk to an Attny. Pronto. Regardless it is way! disability discrimination hes doing! He can't tell you to go home if your making a best effort and are not endangering others.

D@mn people S#ck sometimes!”

“I'm waiting for boy store manager to leave so I can call Shena, asst manager, and ask her to please copy all doctor's notes on file for me. I also want to go in and make a copy of my payment statement for today.”

“Sheena Queen Of The Jungle??”

“Damn The Man!!!!
You would be able to get short term dis after you use up the leave.
You have a legal case under the ADA IMHO.
Sorry about your troubles.”

“Well I went in today after I was certain he had left, so that I could print up my pay statement. I told Shena, (not Sheena, short e sound, and I like this woman btw, she's really cool), that I felt pretty stupid for not having read my own doctor's note and could I please have a copy of it, and any other doctor's notes in my file. There were only the two notes. I knew that I had never been asked for any ever before. So yes, I do have a case if I want or need to press things further.”
