My furkids Donating Member | Tell me what you think? This is way off topic! To put it in a nut shell....I was out of work for 2 weeks on medical. I did everything right. My doctor faxed over a note stating I would be out from 5-1-06 thru 5-15-06. I went back to work on the 15th and things just didn't seem right. My screen saver was changed, my desk top was changed and I had the cutest yorkie head cursor (cometcursor.com for those who are interested). I mentioned this to my boss and she told me that she changed the cursor because she found it annoying (grrrrr!). She really had no business touching my stuff..Anyway, I asked her if the temp they had there thought she was being hired full time because everything had changed...She said "O I don't know" (B**ch!)I felt invaded. Everyday I would give my all...It was a very busy job. On Friday the H.R clerk and my boss told me that my position was eliminated(!?) I asked them when I was through and they told me today!! That was 15 minutes before the end of the day!! I have called everyday since then and the same temp in there that was there when I was out...Now I ask you If the position is elminated why is the temp still there?? Sounds a little fishy?? I have contacted a lawyer..he told me it sounds like they let me go because of medical...HELLLLOOO do I hear illegal!! What do you guys think?

| That is sooo wrong. I am a dental assistant by trade and I worked for this dentist and I got pg well she informed me that she didnt want no pg women in her office when i first started . I was scared to tell her and I did and she seemed ok with it but 2 weeks later i was up for a review and some things i said was took very wrong and wasnt even right and i was fired. I KNOW it was because I was pg and she didnt want me there pg so they gave me a MONTH severence pay and booted me out the door! They said I was fired for something else but even the receptionaist told me i was fired for pg but I couldnt file anything because i had no proof!! That is why I work at home because companies and ppl suck!! Im so sorry this happened to you! |

| Sounds like the temp got your job.. I don't know what you can do about that, the attorney should tell you if you have a case or not. SOrry.

| My Story I have to say my position has been eliminated before. I know in my case they did not hire a replacement and soon the company went south. Anyways...I know it does not seem this way now but that could not have been a better move for me. I found another job that gave me much more experience and opportunity for advancement. I had to take a pay cut at first but within two years I was making more money than in my other job. I know your angery now (I sure was) but things do happen for a reason. There is prob a job 10times better than the one you had waiting for you. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | That sucks! I know the feeling. January '05 I was called in to HR, my boss didn't even come, and he told me my position had been eliminated and that I would have to take early retirement. That my last day would be 1/31 this was 1/14. I had worked for this compnay for 33 years and was a Director. I was also only 53 so my pension was greatly reduced because of my age. They had sent my call center (75 people)for cheaper labor 6 months ago and put me in the Life area where this Boss hated me and I had never run up against this before because I am very easy to get along with and she waws jealous because the new team liked me because I treated them fairly and kindly she was a dictator! The HR guy said you can make as big a deal as you want about your retirement and people will think it was your idea!!! yeah right everyone knows I wasn't going to retire and I had a kid in college and a husband in not so great health. So I left that building right after that and never went back! They made me sign a statement that I wouldn't sue and if I didn't sign it I wouldn't get my severence pay. So they protect themselves. So i am makinf 1/4 of what I was making but I LOVE not working having no boss to deal with. I just cut back on spending and know I take care of my 86 year old parents every day and I I got Cali! Ido believe things happen for a reason. I know you will find a better job soon!!!

| My sister is an HR manager. I called her and she said that as long as someone is doing your job now, it is illeagal to say it was eliminated and you do have a case. They can fire you and say your position was eliminated, but they can not have anyone (including a temp) in that position after you leave. As for the computer, it is company property and they can do whatever they want with that. They can even read your email, or anything else you have stored on that computer. Hopefully your lawyer will be able to build a case for the elimination of the job, though. Good luck!

| That sounds like a possible lawsuit. I hate when jobs take advantage of people who are sick and out on medical.
