Friday I did ride to my office for a half day of work before chemo.

Bummer work day tho = Got written up for a trumped up charge, and then was told all previous written arrangments for me to have flex time to go to the doctor appointments and missing work when the chemo side effects kick in are null and void immediatley and that my hours must be back to 8AM - 5PM Mon - Friday, no more working after hours or weekends to make up my time lost from chemo.

This loss of flex time means I will no longer be able to earn my 40 hrs per week and will now be getting MUCH smaller paychecks as well as getting behind in my work and making me look incompetent.
If I quit, I lose my very good BCBS insurance.

Its obvious to me that they are harrassing me to try and get me to quit and are building a case to fire me if I dont quit. Angry

I'm looking into NC laws abut this and may have to hire an attorney...with no funds because my med bills are so high. Tongue

F'in bastards!...
Screw'em!...

You're in the system, Sweety,.... to neglect your care at this point, would open them to a huge lawsuit.
Get the care you need,... rest, get strong, and let the chips fall where they may. None of this is your fault.

I want a National Health Care for all people, so bad...
...but, that's beside the point.

You,... ...worry about nothing but getting better,.. and that's it....
I don't think they can stop your treatment at this point.
This may be a good thing... Just let go of the worry about money, and heal...

I'm so sorry about this,.. but I saw it coming, it's what they do...

PS,... Know this,
I have your ribbon on my bars, Skater... and every time I get on my bike,... I touch it, and send you wellness and love. As do many others here.

Please,... try to worry about nothing but your own health.

Serow Kiss

Reply #70 - 05/27/11 at 23:44:49 Sorry to hear it skat... I think it's recommended when these issues arise to start a diary and log every thing. And they made an agreement with you due to your illness. To void it out now is to renege on a contract. Check with the local cancer support group, they may offer services.

Thats f'in bull-doodie! GRRRR, it makes me so mad that these places do this to their once valued employees Angry

. Mabey you could contact your local news station and they could do a report on the situation. At the very least you'd get the support of the community and the mo-fos you work for would look like poo! Just know that we're all sending you love and hope for a speedy recovery! Kiss

The veterinary practice did the same thing to my brother in law when he needed a hip replacement.

Last trucking company I worked for was notorious for getting rid of injured/sick employees.

Get hold of your local dept of health and human services (or whatever it is called there). Explain what is going on. If you are given a halfway human case worker you will get medical assistance. Try Social Security. Lisa managed to get her brother enrolled when his health deteriorated.

It is unfortunately the new American way.

Skat, take the advice some here have already given you.
Their should be resources for you and use them.

With everything else that your dealing with, to have
your work place treat you like this is imo the worse
thing they could do, short of firing you.

It also shows the rest of the people that you work
with, what will happen should they ever contact
a similar or like medical problem.

How can they look themselves in the mirror?
I am so upset that they are treating you like this.

Check into legal help and their may even be someone
willing to take it on pro bono..

Just like Serowbot mentioned, he touches his pink
ribbon and sends you love and well wishes.
I as well do and keep you in my thoughts and
prayers continously.
Please keep the positiveness you have shown. Try and
not let these greedy pricks get the best of you.
Your going to beat this. Your strong and,
you have many
here that love ya and will be with you all the way
as you go thru this battle.
Remember your not alone.
The Pink Posse rides with you.. Kiss

On your next energized day, before starting your chemo, stop by the hospital social services dept and find out about medicaid sign up requirements and unemployment/disability etc. The snakes in your human resources department will be helping you out - right out the door! best get prepared cause I suspect you are right...they are greeedy (pick a swear)> Keep up the good fight.
