Add Comment Question: I was ill three days this week, which I have a note from my doctor for, and today- my first day back, after working my full 8-4:30 plus 10 minutes of overtime I was confronted by my supervisor once no one else was around to witness, that I am a bad worker who does nothing and everyone hates working with me. I was fired after 6 years and not once have been written up for not doing my work. He refused to provide me with any information on who everyone supposedly was and I have written statements from my co- workers stating otherwise. This is the second time he's attacked me after returning to work from a medically approved illness. The first time he refused to allow me to return to work after my medically approved absence and was approved to return to full work duties for three days with a loss of wage. It is the only write up I have ever received. And I reiterate- I had a doctors note for the two days I was unpaid and absent from work for. I have been a full time employee there with regular attendance and not a single violation of company policy other than being ill- as mentioned above. All of this weeks before Christmas. I am devastated, what can I do? I need this job to pay for our home, to feed my children. Can he fire me like this? Answer: I am sorry that you lost your job under such difficult circumstances. Reinstatement is likely not an option but you are entitled to a severance package and even additional damages if the employer acted in bad faith.
