I sent an email to HR Friday morning saying that I believe I have been discriminated against for taking FMLA leave. (A lawyer advised me to do this. Also, previous posts about my situation can be found on my profile.) I talked with HR and said that I feel I am being pushed out and my coworkers and manager are against me. I said this stress has led to awful mental health issues. I got home from my shift to another call and was told I am not allowed to come in for work until I have a medical professional sign off on some paperwork. This is such bullshit. They also made me feel like I’m a conspiracy theorist because I said my boss wrote in the final write up that a coworker believes I take off more days than anyone else when I was using short term disability/FMLA leave, and that I think they are wanting me to leave or be fired. I am so angry at what I have been put through. I hope I have a strong case because fuck these companies.

Backstory:

I took FMLA last summer and since then I’ve been getting written up with unfair reasons for the most part. Some of the things I understand but others seems unfair and even unprofessional. I got a write up four days after my employer got a letter about me taking FMLA days due to my mental health. Since then I’ve been anxious every minute I’m at work almost due to being afraid of making even one tiny mistake. My workplace makes me uneasy, and I trust none of my coworkers.
