PHiZ

Medical discrimination, plain and simple. They attempted to violate your privacy rights by demanding medical records. Sue them, they'll settle out of court. Find an employment law attorney, you can get a free consultation, and they will take your case on what is called "contingency" basis. Which means, if you don't win, you don't owe the attorney anything.

They knew they since I wasn't past my one year I couldn't be under the family medical leave act and knew they could do anything they wanted. Everything he came at me with I just told him the absolute truth and that pissed him off more and more until he heard enough. ------- jerk off needed to be put in his place plain and simple. Well time to be a mooch and call and just my unemployment benefits.

I don't blame you 1 bit for telling your boss exactly how you felt. It's kind of funny in a way, but if money is more important to him than the own health of his employees, that place is certainly not worth it.
good for you bro, keep your head up, you'll find a new job

---- ----- medical condition. I ------- got a different job so I wouldn't have to drive as far and I liked my last job and had no problems with it or the people or management and they had no problems with my condition. If I had the money I would get a lawyer and go after those rat bastards but after you get fired your incomes kinda take a hit even with an unemployment check still. It's so easy to say sue them but hell you have to pay just to talk to a lawyer and I don't even have that money.

you dont have to pay to talk to a lawyer haha.

go find one that will take part of the settlement as payment. I mean hell, just because you lose 50% of the settlement still means you get 50% of money that right now...you're just let slip away...

I thought it was against the law to fire someone because of a doctors excuse.


If you get fired because of a doctors excuse, thats against the law.

If you get fired because you didnt take the trash out after you showed your boss your medical paper work, thats legit. found that out the hard way one time.

Story time kids:
a boss i had asked me once, what was more important.
high school or my job.
LOL isn't going to school a law? im not a ------ mexican.
make a long story short right.
I got fired because "I didnt make bleach water right" :P

sorry to hear about your situation, but I think having to give your place of employment a doctors excuse is ------- gay in the first place. It sounds like a demeaning and condescending practice. This is real life, not elementary school.

"Are you suuuure you were really sick last Friday?"
"Yes sir, you can even call my mom"
"I might just do that, Billy"

I've never had to deal with lawyers or anything so I'm completely new at this. Never had to sue anyone

Couldnt have said it better. Most contingency lawyers around here take 30-40%. And the best part is, 5 mintues into your first discussion they know if they have a case or not. After that...it's all about how much $$$ you can get.

DOCUMENT EVERYTHING! Get witnesses from work that will back your story up. Any letters or emails your boss(es) sent you will help.

Go talk to a lawyer. It costs $0!
