Has anyone been discriminated at work for

Plans to go out for surgery, during medical leave or soon after returning ? I was suspended from my job due a false accusation and it is

10 days before my surgery. I hired a lawyer, any comments ????

What did they say that got you suspended? Of course get a lawyer that's messed up what happen.

I work for a major grocery store chain as a supervisor . They claim I worked with the deli manager to get a half price pizza. I remember buying a pizza but the was no way discussion about it as stealing. There is however the possibility I bought it as the time was expiring on it and there for the manger always discounts it. My manager new what kind of surgery I was having and has a family member who had many complications afterwards. I think he was afraid of me being out for surgery and how it would effect them if I had complications. It is all bulls$$$. As of now my lawyer is trying to get me off of suspension because of discrimination

My surgery is 6/4, and to add to above, I do recall getting a pizza, but do not recall it being discounted , but the price it was, is the price you get for a pizza that is close to expiration

Omg I can't believe what I'm reading, they suspended you for a pizza? Really!!! No way!! That for sure sounds WRONG, it must be something worst going on, oh and btw did they ever give you a verbal warning? Always remember that verbal warnings come first, then written warnings, suspension and then release of your duties but wow this is a shocker!!! Good luck and keep us update

This why I hired a lawyer, thank goodness for my family !!!

Sue there butts... How dare them.. BTW I never knew they have a special price for pizza when it's about to expire. Like above poster said. You should had gotten a warning first verbal then writtennup the last is suspension,and after worth fire,but I find no need for warning or anything if you did nothing wrong.

Did the deli manager get suspended too? You paid for it, regardless of the price so yea- you've got a case!! Good luck, keep us posted!!

Yes. Everyone could see he had it out for him too. My lawyer is good, so I have faith it will turn out ok, since I know I did nothing wrong . Surgery on Monday !!! Yeah buddy !!

That's awful!! I'm sorry to hear that! People are just so close minded!

Update for everyone.. Work has still not replied to my lawyer. I am still employed but who knows for how much longer . Still moving forward with surgery , I am so stressed about the work issue that I don't even have time to stress about the operation on 6/4. 5 days !!!!
