Nothing quite like “Ending a Contract” within 15 minutes of finding out you need surgery
Post Body

Basically just what the title says. While what they did wasn’t “illegal” it was highly unethical and I will spend the rest of my life discouraging people from doing business, or working for these wastes of humanity.

For background I’ve been out of work for the past month due to an injury sustained on job (because it was a chronic condition doesn’t qualify for comp). Through this time I’ve been unpaid as I was in a contract to hire position (this may cross some legal grounds and have someone looking into it). I just found out yesterday the extent of the surgical procedure needed. Date isn’t scheduled yet, but they wrote me a note for AT LEAST 2 months because it will be a minimum of 6 weeks post op recovery before I’m in working condition again, and could take a month to get me in the schedule.

I have not heard a word from the company this entire time, only 3 contacts from the Account Manager seeing how I’m feeling, and getting appointment updates. Within 15 minutes of receiving my note detailing the surgery, this company decided to abruptly end my contract (contract to hire), 3 months early. Now on top of trying to figure out pay, this also ends my health insurance and I have to scramble to get Medicaid in place so I can cover surgery to put my jaw back together.

F Corporate America, that is all.
