I've never been fired before in my life. I never really imagined being fired but figured if it ever came to that that it would be for a work related reason. I was fired this week for the following reasons:
1. I am incapable of making healthy decisions for myself and my son
2. I have allowed myself to be poisened by medical terminology
3. I have been let down by all the male figures in my life and so I have resistence to men
4. I've been "down" the last few weeks and a few patients noticed and asked about it.
5. There are 2 types of people in the world, one type wants to move forward and the other has problems that are everyone else's problem but their own.
Now you might think I"m joking or exaggerating but those were the reasons without embelishment, actually that is putting them rather nicely. Now keep in mind, the begining of Feb, I was in a serious car accident that took me out of work for 2 weeks, in that time I found out my mom had been having an affair. Then my son got pink eye and I became very ill, to the point that I had to visit the doctor several times because I couldn't breathe. I only missed one day of work because of my illness and the car accident happened while I was coming back from a conference that they required I attend. So I worked 2 and a half days in Feb, and of course I was a bit down. I have never been more shocked then I was when they told me why they were letting me go. Since when does my personal life make grounds for letting me go. And why wasn't it addressed when there was any question. No comments were made about my work ethic at all. And on top, they have decided not to file a workman's comp claim which I specifically asked that they do so that my medical bills are taken care of and if it's denied then my insurance kicks in. They feel that since I was driving my own car (even though I got paid for the time and expenses) that it's unnecessary. Boy will they be surprised. My insurance company will handle that. Everyone has said I should look into taking it to court, but I really feel like it may be more hassle than it's worth. But I am still taking input and suggestions. In the meantime I'm headed out Monday to find a new job. yippee!!
