I've been off of work on disabilty since the 2nd week of June.
I've not called into work since, but called today to see how my coworkers were doing. One guy told me he heard I was fired or am going to be fired?

I LOL, firing or going to fire someone on disability is a HUGE law breaker.

I hope they do it, I would make more money in a lawsuit than going back to work for those aholes!

Could just be a rumor, but I emailed the head of my HR dept who is a lawyer to tell her I heard I was fired.

Waiting for her reply. Should be a good one

They are no loopholes when one is on disability.
My co has been sued before for wrongful dismisal.
They lost every time

And they are not a mom and pop co. They are the largest valve company in north america. They would be foolish to play this game
 
i thought part of going on disability was you're suppose to keep in contact with work, just not work... what kinda feild are you in???

No. You're wrong. My mother went on short term disability for almost the full time allowed and in that time she had nothing to do with work.

I do one better, I keep my employer up-to-date on all my medical appointments just to show good faith.

I don't have to keep in contact with the company
I'm a material/machine parts buyer. I've been there 8 yrs.

That is just asking for trouble upon their behalf. Dumb.
 
Is it legal to fire someone in Canada, because they have a soft ass?
 
there was a calveless joke somewhere in here as of a day ago. now alcatraz gets the torch passed on to him lolol

blue, people love to talk and gossip at work. I wouldn't sweat it, especially if the law is on your side.

yeah but with complying with disabilty someone either her or doctors have to give updates on the condition. i didn't mean that staying in contact ment you have to call in and see whats going on with problems or new things... job security is a myth. it's just something to make you feel good/safe. if a company wants you out they'll make it happen. will they get there asses sued for it. depends on the situation but most of the time yes...
 
Ok, my HR dept just replied to my email saying

"Jennifer, this is a very hurtful rumor and not the truth. If you want to tell me who you heard it from, we will investigate"

I replied "I would rather not, I just wanted to know if this was a rumor or the truth and not get involved in the drama"

This is not the first time this has happened. The last time I was on disability, I heard I was dying of ovarian cancer, that I was faking and the best one, that I had aids

I think peeps who spread rumors should be fired and the woman who told everyone I had aids, was NOT fired, but reprimanded.
This woman went as far as to tell the mailman every detail of my life, well every detail that she assumed of my life
I dealt with her on my own!

I've never EVER EVER once spread a rumor or recycled info I heard about others.What the.......
 
hahaha sue them for slander!!! and defimation (sp) of character!!! did you narc out who told you???

damn if someone made a rumor that i had aids i'd definately sue for slander and d of character!!!! THEN i would have punched her in the mouf

Dude, I work in GOSSIP central. And the men are as bad as the women. There are only 3 other woman in my entire building but man do they trash talk.

My transgender friend is actually a VP at my company and her own secretary was telling everyone her and I were lovers cause I used to go to the plant they worked at and would close the door and we would talk.
She was helping me with my stocks, not in my stockings...haha

I swear, peeps should be tazed as soon as they talk shit
 
Well there's your first problem, taking anything as gospel that comes out of a co-worker's mouth.

You have shit stirring work colleagues, sounds like fun.

I did not narc, the guy who told me is one of my best work friends.

The woman who started that rumor is a 60 yr old unhappy woman.
She also told people I took kickbacks to pay for my car.
The list goes on.

I would sue her for slander, but she is just not worth it

Oh yeah, they love to stir shit. That's why I've not called since gone. But this one guy is my friend and was worried about me being fires so he was giving me a heads-up

SHIT like this makes me want to never go back.
I need to do my courses REALLY fast so I can get my cert and go into business for myself

They are all overweight, unhappily married and are horrid looking. Mark with a C has seen them, he can tell you ;)

Um, you put value in rumors?
I never do.
Co-workers typically dont know shit and they are the first to start running off at the mouth.

Normally I dont put value, but in this case, my friend heard it from our truck driver. The driver's sister works in HR.

Also, I'm firing someone today and I have one more person who I told last week was on her last and final warning and she would be terminated with one more fuck up.

I believe I said they rarely fire anyone.
We are about 1500 employees and maybe one person a yr gets fired.

I've been there 8 yrs and know of 4 peeps fired in that time.
And believe me, a news of a firing runs through this company like a disease.

I'm vulnerable now and assume they would rather me leave or fire me that wait for me to return. So I did believe that rumor.

get this.... i was 6 days away from getting out of the navy and a former friend called the navy legal department and said i was faking my ankle injury as i was about to be discharged on disability. well they held me from getting out in 6 days, took back the 30k they gave me, my account went negative 9k (i paid of all my debts right away) and after 6 months of waiting they said the friend wouldnt come in to sign a statement and the legal department said i didnt do anything wrong. WELL the bank waited long enough and had me arrested. the navy let me go but had to pay me almost 40k this time but took forever to pay me because the pay dept wanted to make sure i was out on a honorable discharge. i spent 1 night in jail and was able to pay them back when i finally got the money.


did i sue him for making false accusations? no but i got him back because i found out he was funneling money from our semi-pro football team and also the school board in the county he worked for. now hes on the run.....

(If you don't mind me asking) - what are you on disability for?
 
Never underestimate the pathetic drama and low morals of bored useless 9-5 paycheck hound office monkeys who've given up on life - and would feed you to the lions if it meant a big salary increase for them.

Is there a large turn over?
Click to expand...

Nope not really. My department has all received their lay off papers because we are relocating our customer service operation to Wisconsin. So, now we're dealing with the ramifications of that (hard to keep people motivated to want to come to work when they know they're being laid off in 2 months, even though they're getting a severance)
 
So the drama continues. I just get home from an appoint and in my email from a coworker showing the posting for my job?!

They cannot replace it, it's not legal. Unless they are hiring another buyer which is also not possible since there are already 4 of us in the dept and one guy plays on line cards all day

Looks like I'm going to have a lawsuit on my hands

Have you directed your concerns to your Boss?
 
Nobody likes getting fired, but to think about suing?

Hmmmm when I still had custody of my girls I busted MY ASS - was at work by 5AM most mornings and my exhusband, the guardian ad litem and the judge decided that this was bad, bad, bad behavior. So yea, I guess I fell into that 98% of mothers who DESERVED to have custody taken from me. Being the terrible mother that I was they took custody from me that time because they didn't like the fact that a hard-working single mother busted her ass as a personal trainer to put food on the table for herself and her children (while the father routinely lied about his income to beat us out of support). Oct 05 I was stripped of custody pending the gym childcare being investigated because my ex alleged that my children were being abused in the childcare there, the same childcare I had used for YEARS, first as a member, then as a gym employee. :rolleyes: Those few desperately looooooooooooong months that I was only allowed to see my kids for a few hours one day a week and every other weekend for 8 hours a day (overnights were strictly forbidden) I threw myself into my work and when I wasn't working helping other people attain health and wellness through fitness and proper diet I LIVED at the gym so I wouldn't get too depressed and engage in activities that were harmfull to me. My children needed me to fight for them and to stay as healthy as I could regardless of how I felt like dying every minute of every day.

I was one of the top-earning producers during those months, no small feat as the chain of gyms had like 10 facilities or so. Anyways, the dude who ran the management staff held me out as an example of not only an exceptional employee but as an example of unbreakable spirit and mental/physical strength.

Well, I cut back on my hours (to regain my kids) in conjunction with the fact that all the allegations my ex had made against the gym (and me) were totally unfounded and he didn't feel like paying for a full-blown custody trial (but he took me to court shortly thereafter anyway to beat me and my kids out of money that he owed us from the divorce settlement) he "let me" have the kids back just less than half the time.

Once I told my superior, "Look there is NO WAY that I can keep working the hours I did before." that meant that my production would plummet in comparison to previous months.

You know what they did? (EVERYBODY knew about my maliciously litigious ex and my custody issues).

THEY FIRED ME.

And you know funny? When you are in an industry for a few years it becomes very small and everybody gets to know everybody. When I tried to apply to other area gyms they wouldn't touch me with a ten foot pole regardless of my excellent client and work references for performance/attitude.... why you ask?

BECAUSE THEY ALL FEARED THEY WOULD ALSO BE ACCUSED OF SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS BY MY EX LIKE THE LAST GYM WAS WHERE I WORKED.

The thought to sue never entered my mind.

Why?

The gym did me a favor. I was far too smart and had far too much value to continue to bust my ass for not nearly enough pay. I did enjoy my job, true because I helped so many people but at the end of the day I didn't earn enough to take care of myself and my children properly. We still needed FOODSTAMPS to eat.

There comes a time when people needa suck it up and move ahead regardless of how they have been wronged. :whatever:

Probably just the rumor mill. I also missed work due to sinus surgery for about a month. All kinds of rumors were flying all around. I had a return date from my employer and did not need to keep in touch with them. I just came back on that day. And like you said if they did fire you you'd get a pretty nice pay day!

They know when I'm coming back and there is already another buyer from another plant doing my job.

There is something fishy going on and my mind has been racing for hours

I have lupus and lyme disease and was ill for a while and never missed a day.
The last year I got worse and was going to work really ill and one morning I passed out while driving to work and knew it was time to take sick leave.
I took leave for 3 months, then went back part time. Well the insurance did not like me working part time so after 4 weeks told me to work full time or go back on disability full time.
I went back full time for 4 months and my health was getting worse, so I decided to take the time I needed.

My job is not physical at all. I sit at a desk all day

My mom was let go 3 days after her medical leave ended for a blown-out ACL with reconstructive surgery. 26 years for the same company and the 5th highest rated employee in the company...in the entire U.S.

They gave her a poor performance report and used some B.S. excuse. It was done for salary reasons but they still knew exactly what they were doing.

that is what I was thinking. I figure when I return, they will find some reason to fire me, since someone with an illness is now a liability.

But again, I would sue them if they did that also. It looks very suspicious to fire someone right off disability.

Why didn't your Mom sue?
 
My Mom didn't sue because another company had been wanting to lure her away. She called the other company and they gave her more money, a better company car, less travel. In the end, my mom told her boss she could fuck herself.

Common sense wrong versus the pain in the ass of going thru court. After legal fees, it's not worth it just to get even.

Plus, one of our neighbors has farm raised turkeys. So...we knew my mom's boss left her car doors unlocked during the day. So...someone stuck some wild turkeys inside the car...which by lunch time was full of turkey shit, turkey feathers, and a whole lot of claw marks in her leather seats.

Be careful Blu. It does not sound good.

My mom recently worked for a nice company that was really good to her. Her story is a bit similar. She was out on short term disability and kept in contact and even brought the physicians progress notes along with her physical therapy reports to the HR. Everything seemed fine. Not more than 3 weeks after being back to work my mother got "let go" for not meeting the monthly quota's that the employees had to make, though she had been out and someone else was taking over for her during that time. I think it was just a cop out as they were thinking of getting rid of her while she was out, but knew better.
