Job saga continues....

Otherwise known as ...." As my world churns"....*LOL* I know that I say this, but honestly I don't know how it can continue to get worse. I truly don't. You will have to remember that I was grilled about my medical treatment, drs., hospitals, dates, etc. ad nauseum. I was told to furnish the documentation that I was under a drs. orders to stay out of work as long as I did. I told them no problem. I brought in MY copy (my sheet of the two page duplicate form) of the standard form that the drs. uses. BTW it was on the hospitals letterhead no less. I made two copies of it while at work and gave them to my supervisor. Brought my original back home. Not going to let that puppy out of my sight or hands. Guess what? That isn't good enough. They want the "original" of this document. Ok, what does this tell you? I take it that they believe I altered the document. Ummmmm I'm not in third grade and trying to alter a note from my mother for God's sake!. They even questioned my Drs. name for chrissakes! What was that? It's his name. Yeah right. Ummmmm I called my dr. on the way home from work. He is livid. Completely and totally. He is in the process of drafting a letter to them specifically addressing the seriousness of my surgery and it's complexity. Also noting that he tried to get me to take MORE time off than I did but I refused citing the fact that my work was totally uncooperative in me being gone. His office even went as far as to say that these folks better not ever come to their office needing help. Gosh they were mad. I am to pick up this letter when I go to see him this Friday. Oh and I am supposed to come right back to work after my appt. as well. I am not to be gone the entire day. *sigh* Oh folks.... it is really starting to get to me. I feel like I am in a war zone. I am smiling on the outside and being my usual chipper and cheerful self to my customers but I am crying on the inside. I don't use my cane at work as I get made fun of. My leg is killing me. I don't take my pain medication cause it makes me loopy. I just feel awful. Even my drs. office stated that it is obvious they are pushing me to the extent of trying to push me out of my job. But they are on my side BIGTIME. Kelli ---- please don't say his name... but you know who was LIVID when he found out that his name was made fun of. Ohmygosh.... eeek! I don't think that they would be so cavalier if he were standing in front of them do you? Just wanted to share the latest installment. I feel like my life is a trainwreck right now. I can hardly believe it myself. But they can't take away my pride and sense of self. I will NOT be compromised no matter what. I WILL keep my head held high! Thanks for all you sharing your love , compassion and thoughts. They are truthfully the only things keeping me afloat right now... Love you guys bigtime! Pixielf~

Get a lawyer...isn't it illegal for your employer to hound you about medical issues? Go to the CEO, explain the harrassment you are receiving at the hands of his (her?) daughter, and let them know you have a lawyer who is interested in taking your case. If they fire you, then take the unemployment and sue them for discrimination. I know, it's all so easy for me to tell you what I would do...but I'm not the one in need of the paycheck. You're in a tough position. A coworker of mine had a husband who was wrongfully terminated for "stealing" a 7-Up that he thought was his. He sued and WON...so it can be done! Really, if I were you, I'd probably just go in there and start screaming obscenities at everyone...but that wouldn't get you anywhere! Pamela

Pixie I used to work in HR and we were not allowed to ask for anything from an employee's physician. That is private medical information and we had no right to know what they had done, just a note/letter from MD saying they had to be gone so many days/weeks. I think these folks are really violating labor laws and you might consider talking to the state or federal department of labor. They are discriminating against you big time. Again, I know you need the $$$. I'd be in the same boat. But don't let it ruin your life. Just go in, ignore them, do as little as possible, collect your pay and smile all the way to the bank.
