is this discrimination? (really serious issue at work)

[juiceddreadlocks]

Okay, here's the backstory.

One of my coworkers is pregnant and getting married this week... last week we had a tough patient that required lifting. From the boss: lighten her workload, you take the difficult patient. Okay fine, I'll try to be a team player.

Last week I got sick and havent been back to work since. I email the boss saying I'm healthy again, he says no, she's getting married this week so we cant take a chance on getting her sick.

Okay seriously, we see sick people every night and she still works. Is he discriminating against me?

your boss says no, what? that u come in to work even tho you're sick???

how can she get 'sick'? tell ur boss to get someone else - cuz you're sick.

legal discrimination? no.

Sorry, I meant I emailed him an update and that I'm better... he then told me it was too risky to have me back at work since she's getting married we cant get her sick.

That is messed up....not sure about discrimination but messed up....screw her

Are you making that up? That makes zero sense. If your boss told you not to come back even though you are better...

You have an updated resume?

Do you get paid hourly or on salary?

That is rather bizarre - unless she's isolated from these patients which it doesn't sound like to me.

HeatherRea might be on to something with having your resume ready... just in case.

Heck yeah, I'd stay at home and play video games in the nude all day long if my boss told me NOT to come to work.

What are you complaining about? Unless you are not getting paid or it uses up your vacation.

What do you do for work?
Is this a large company?
This doesn't add up
