[NPInfo] i just got fired!

Tue Nov 6 11:39:30 PST 2007

I agree Lynda with Dena.  Give me an address, and I will send a bit of money. We need to start a "list fund" just for these purposes, so we can dip into it when someone needs help in emergency situations.  I could get a bank address and start one if people are interested. 

   Also, I dont know how it is in your state, but one of the questions they ask for unemployement is "are you actively seeking work? Are you physically able to work?  If you were physically able to work part time (as you had gone back to work) you can truthfully answer yes to this question, and get your unemployment checks.  In Oregon,  this was only 445.00 a week, but it helped. So normally you do not need a "note" saying you are physically released. If you had not worked in two years and were not sure if you could work that would be different, but you were already working.  And regarding random drug tests what is that about?  Keeping your job with that doctor? Did she tell you that, or did the unemployment office call and she told them that?   If that is the case she wants to make it look like you are "refusing work" so she doesnt have to pay unemployement.  She does not want to have to pay it, and that is what she will have to do is pay part of it. I think if "random
 drug screens was not part of your original contract that you signed, she cannot add it now as a stipulation. And you did not even have a contract.  Just say "yes" to everything at the unemployment office Lynda, or call them on the phone. You will be telling the truth. Boy is she a piece of work. And I agree coming to your home "after church" is horrible.  Carla/Oregon

Yes, I see people on it all the time...and there are my tax dollars paying
for it...but when one of us needs it, well, that is another story. I think
what really gets me is the fact that I have to agree to random drug testing
to keep my job and that tax money can be diverted from my paycheck to those
on welfare/etc that are doing drugs...how come they don't have to take
random drug tests to qualify to get the money that I earned???? What was
really funny was the lady helping me at the unemployment office...She just
kept saying "She came to your house?" "I can't believe she came to your
house". "Just came right into your house and told you this?"

Geez--- so terribly sorry-- it totally sucks to fall through each and
every crack! But, apparently, it happens much more than most people
realize-- unfortunately. How can you be too old for Medicaid?? What about
all the people in the country who are on both Medicaid and Medicare? 

Tell you what-- send me a utility bill and I'll pay it for you. If
everyone on this list pays one bill a month for you, you could be okay for a
long time!! LOL

I agree with both of you...I do not want that job back...(it ties with 1
other job as being the worst I have ever had..I quit that one) but I do not
want this to reflect badly on me when I apply for other positions. I
understand that what she did was TACKY, as well as morally, ethically, and
professionally WRONG, but I am unsure if it is Legally Wrong. I have calls
into 2 employment attorneys now to try to get an answer to this question. I
do not qualify for unemployment because I have not been released medically
to work full time. I can not get COBRA as you have to have 20 or more
employees to require this. I do not qualify for disability because in
Virginia you must be 100% disabled to qualify for anything. I am too old for
medicaid and too young for social security. I am not sure how understanding
the power company and mortgage company are going to be when I run out of $$.
I will start sending out CV's and pounding the pavement but for today, I
have done all I can

She needs to check with HER state-- and
an attorney if she wants to fight this firing. Although, again, I think
Lynda needs to analyze what her goals are here-- getting her job back,
financial compensation, etc.

Agreed, Dena.
