Do you guys remember when I took that leave to go to rehab for six weeks last fall?

Without any virtual explanation, I was let go from my job last week. With zero severance pay.

I now have a lawyer and filing a discrimination claim against my former employer to force them to pay severance. Because my firing was within six month of my leave it sounds like I have a very good chance at winning some money.

I don't want to do this, but fuck, I think they really screwed me over because my work has been outstanding since I returned in December and all my reviews good, etc.

I don't even have to sue, I just have to file a complaint and then negotiate. Very weird - they must have thought I wouldn't pursue it. It does take effort but worth it.

they are reorganizing the company, which is happening, but I am not aware of any layoffs besides me, just job changes and boss changes.

Well, I understand that, for sure. Mrs Wease has to fire a good friend of hers due to the same reasons (never hire your friends or their kids). But it does seem suspicious you’re the only one with a pink slip. Take ‘em for what you can, I say.

He’s been very open about his struggles with alcohol, and this job situation can’t be good. Anyone know anything? He’s been a solid poster here for decades.

Things fizzled out with Tall Girl, but I am now with a yoga instructor who is actually pretty cool (and hot and flexible). Cuz, yoga.
