I came across this blog post in the legal advice forums. It seems that although upper management didn’t just come out and say it they were making this girl feel she was a burden and a major inconvenience due to her condition.

From the post it sounds as if she was backed into a corner and finally had enough. Now it appears she may still be left with breast cancer (the post doesn’t say) and now she has lost her health insurance since she can’t afford the steep monthly payments for COBRA with no income.

It makes me wonder how many other people out there have had a similar experience of being pushed out the door of your job due to some condition health or otherwise that was beyond your control.

If this has happened to you or you have suggestions post your comments. One day all this crap of only doing what’s best for business is going to end and we all will have to sort this out together.
