Brwneyedchica Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 So i've made several posts in recent weeks about how my job was trying to fire me because I worked 1059 hours in the past year instead of the 1250 you need to qualify for FMLA. My doctor provided written documentation that I was only able to work part time hours since the last time i'd been so sick and that had been going okay, though I was still barely getting through that. Then they decided that I HAD to start working full time hours again at the end of july. So I made it through 2 and a half weeks of full-time hours and now I'm just feeling very very sick. I went to work sick monday and tuesday but I called off today, and this was the first time i'd called off almost 7 weeks. They give points for every time you call off, or leave work sick, so i'm sure that I don't have much to go. This could actually be it. I'm almost relieved that I won't have a job to worry about getting to. I moved back home with my mom and am thinking that if I let them fire me that I can collect unemployment. I've been trying for almost a year now to complete these medical transcription online classes but I'm giving my all to work and I am just not physically able to do anything else. I'm just very very sad, I feel like if I could suck it up a little more than I could make it to work. But I was so nauseated lastnight that I couldn't sleep until 5am and that was after taking 3 zofran. I guess i'll just feel like a failure if they fire me irreguardless of the fact that it's not my fault. I'm not able to do anything but work when I am working besides a load of laundry. And I'm usually really sick on my off days. I did sign up for LTD last january at work, so they've been taking money for that out of my check. What should I do? Let them fire me? IS there anything else I CAN do? I'm going to be 23 years old at the end of this month and I seriously don't know how i'm going to make it through the rest of my life if I have to go to work and feel this awful all of the time ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSM3KIDZ Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I'm so sorry to hear all that is going on with you and your job. Maybe unemployment would give you a nice break to help with your recovery. Full-time is ALOT to expect with this condition.I got fired when I was 21 basically because I had a child (long story) and I was upset for a while but since I didn't do anything wrong I got over it. Take it easy and do what you have to do. Please TRY not to worry about the future.....just TRY to take things one day at a time or you will be totally overwhelmed.Hang in there I hope everything works out for youDayna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadine Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Have you looked into LTD? Sorry, I can't remember if you mentioned this before- would you be eligible for benefits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
