Hey everyone
I have a question on what I just recently went through at work; I hope there is someone that can give me answer in some way or in another. I apologize for it being so long
Let me begin by telling you what I just went through:
I have been working with a company for about a little over a year as a sub contractor, never late and I took care of my work duties every time and fulfill all that needs to be done before the end of the day. But recently I was told that I needed a major surgery to be done so I told my boss about it in a month in advance so by the time the date got here they knew I had to be out for a couple of days. So I had the procedure done and I was out for about a week and two days I was supposed to come back in to work on the third day after the first week but I ended up calling my boss on that weekend telling her that I cannot come to work tomorrow because I have to get my follow-up on my surgery and to make that I do not have any kind of limitations, and she responded if god forbid you have limitation let me know and I will work with you and I said fine, thank you.
So I went to my see my doctor and he gave me the OK to go back to work but with some limitation, he said you cannot lift, push or pull anything and I said OK I can do that I know my job I know there are other things that I can do that won’t concern that. So the next day I went to work with a little bit of pain and discomfort knowing that I was still in recovery mode. When I got to work I saw my boss and she saw me and she responded with WOW you don’t look so good and I said remember my operation was major not minor of course I will not be feeling well so then I gave the doctor’s note and she said you can’t lift, push or pull anything and I said yes but there are other things here that don’t need me to do that and she responded by telling me that’s your whole job doing these things and told her I been here for a little over year and the heaviest thing I ever picked up was a box of paper and I know if I need to that all I can do is take one ream out at a time that’s no problem. So then she said well let me speak to your contractors on what they think of keeping you here or sending you home instead and I said fine, so I went to take care of business and in about a hour or two I saw one of the main bosses from my job and he asked me are you OK and I said I have some pain and discomfort but I can deal with it and he told me go home and I said no I do not want to lost my job and he responded don’t worry your covered go home and heal and come back in a few days and I said OK. So when I went back upstairs I started to get my stuff and my boss saw me and she said your leaving and I said yes, I spoke to the other boss about it and he said it was fine and she told yes it’s OK go home get heal and come back in a few days your job will still be here and I said your sure and she said yes, don’t worry about I rather have you home getting healed than you coming to work now and getting worse. And when you come back you can start fresh like a regular day and I said thank you. So I left thinking dam now I can go home and heal at ease knowing I have a job when I come back, but when I was half way home I get a call on my phone and it was my job agency telling that I was terminated and said what! How can that be if they told me that I have a job to come back to, and she said well all I was told to tell you that your services where no longer needed. I felt so betrayed how can she be so cruel to me making me think that I have a job when I come back she was so deceitful to me how can someone do that. How can someone have the heart knowing that it’s my first day back to work and fired me? I didn’t ask to get this operation. I know did everything right by bringing here a dr’s note and letting her know in advance before my procedure. But why I feel so horrible. Please someone let me now is there anything I can do to fight back I feel that it was wrong on how they did things.
