May 2 Well, after much debate yesterday- Rick and I figured out they could lay me off due to corporate cutbacks, not doing in-house tailoring anymore, and that they offered me a regular counterperson job- and I refused due to I can’t work for that amount of $. Today he told me that they couldn’t do that (on advice of some of their friends) because I could come back in 6 mos. when the unemployment ran out and sue them under the ADA Act(Americans with Disabilites Act) as it’s no secret that I have been fighting this disease. That’s not something I would even think of, let alone do! And it hurts that after knowing me over 10 years they would come up with that. I could have sued the pants off the Dr. who pumped me full of antibiotics when I broke my leg, after being told Several times not to- but I didn’t even think of doing it then. Probably should have.I wouldn’t have to be worrying about $- But its not me! Anyway they told me to apply for SS Disability( which takes several months- and who knows if they would allow it since the tumor is benign at this time) or try again with Unemployment on medical reasons(takes 4-6 weeks review and not a promise of payment) and neither can be initiated until I’m not here anymore. I’m tired of the stress and BS about this thing. Am going to cook something- maybe some Boca Burgers. And try to get some rest- The work load has been heavy and this crap doesn’t help things. Poor Frank- He knows how upset I am and He is too- but we both feel better about the decision since I’ve already done some work for Jerry and they are Happy! |
