Got fired today...
Posted , 10 users are following.
I posted two weeks ago about my "new" symptoms being blamed on my fibro, even though an MRI showed white leisions on my brain. I was so ill last week I could not go into work. I offered to work from home but my boss refused. Mind you, another person in our department is allowed to work from home.
Today I went back to work and was fired about 2 hours after I got there. The reasons were ridiculous, but she had to have something since she could not fire me for being sick. She fired me because (1) I did not personally walk 3 blocks to find out if people attending a meeting we were holding could part at this parking lot. Rather I relied on our security department and the president's assistant who told me we could not park there. (2) I sent my boss a map for the upcoming meetings that showed the school on the wrong block. I asked why she hadn't double-checked it before she sent it out. Her answer was "I'm not debating this with you." (3) I asked to work from home.
Of course I am at a very, very low point right now and I'm hoping to get some words of wisdom from my fibro friends on this board. I will not have insurance as of August 1st, and no income either.
It's very, very depressing.

Christine, you made me teary and giggly at the same time. THANK YOU!
Many of my long time colleagues at this school (I have taught there off and on for 20 years) told me they were glad I was away from the boss of this project. She's not exactly endearing herself to the long-time faculty and staff. I do think this might be a blessing in disguise!

Yes cheryl, agree with you there...most of our blessings seem to come in disguise, fibro loves stress it loves it, so if your job was stressing you and it isnt there to do that anymore..,yeah "a blessinng in disguise" ??????????

I saw a neurologist bout this who spent all of 12 minutes with me, did not bring in my MRI to show me anything, but merely took my reflexes. His response was "let's wait 3 months and see what happens." NOT acceptable I told him. I'm getting a 2nd opinion.

Nevelyn, I know exactly what you mean about being negative and depressed. I have days that are good, but so many that aren't.
I am waiting to hear from an employment attorney who might help me. I don't want my job back because my boss was so difficult to work for, but I do want some type of satisfaction.
