In the last few months I became ill and requested modifications to my role and discussed plans to start a family. I asked about reduced working hours as per my doctors advice. I was fired yesterday. I only worked for 1 year and 3 months. I was given 2 weeks notice and 1 week severence. The reason in my letter stated that I am no longer a fit. I was successful on my role and I have never received disciplinary commutation of any kind.
