Add Comment Question: My employer terminated my employment aafter finding out I had carpal tunnel. They knew I was going to need some time off to accommodate the surgeries. They stated in a letter it was due to my performance but I know the real reason is because of my diagnosis. They provided me with 2 weeks severance which I took to be extremely disrespectful. What are my options moving forward? Answer: Thanks for your question. It is extremely important that you speak with an experienced employment lawyer.
