hi holly,

sorry to hear your having trouble with your boss - i'd look for another

job. sounds like this guy just dosen't get it or dosen't want to

understand what's really going on here.

I am currently looking for another job. I sent an email to our regional

manager to inform him of my situation. I just learned from the labor board

today that it is illegal to discriminate in regards to disability leave. I just

don't want anyone else to have to go through this. Thanks for your input and

best wishes to you, Holly

have you applied for fmla? its a federal mandate & you can not be passed over

for raises, job promotions or special projects. i know i fought this battle & it

took 2 yrs to bring about changes in my workplace, but i do feel i helped the

ones following me. it took years for fmla to be approved, use it. my current

crusade is wheelchair access. i hate getting dressed up to go, (on a good day)

and then get there and cant go in.

i am new here but i really enjoy the comments & information.

thank you deborah
