Getting Fired While Out With An Injury Is Not Cool

| | Comments (0)

Last year I had my knee replaced because of a bone tumor that had previously destroyed my femur and knee. I was 37 at that time, many healthy years ahead after this set back, but not to my "company". 2 weeks after my surgery when I was at home recovering, I get a "Friday" morning call saying they didn't need me any longer and that they were phasing out my position. So, on top of recovering, PT on my leg, and no job I had to fret on how I was going to find a new job when I couldn't even drive myself anywhere. Thank God for unemployment and my family. 3 months later I landed a wonderful job with wonderful folks and hope my other company burns in tax hell somewhere.
