I was terminated from a job where I had never had any formal discipline. I have an anxiety disorder, which they showed no compassion for. I was fealty I'll at work one day, asked for early lunch and was allowed. Fell asleep in my vehicle parked off company property where 50 other employees also Park. Slept a half hr past my lunch. Some Co workers went to look for me. I have since heard that a coworker accused me of being on drugs. One of these coworkers told a friend they looked for me cause they thought I overdosed. If that is true why when they found me, did they not attempt to wake me up. They left me there until I woke on my own. I was sent home and terminated because they said my attendance was unacceptable. I have never been disciplined for attendance issues before.

Although an employer is permitted to terminate you for any reason that is not discriminatory, they must provide you with severance. Please contact us at the number below for a consultation with a lawyer to discuss your entitlements upon the termination of your employment.
