Hello! I was employed in Texas with a Fortune 500 Company for 11 years. I have always received stellar reviews from this employer as well as client/customer reviews. I never ever called in sick during 11 years and used my vacation days to care for my child who had stage III cancer and had a liver transplant. My son has since racked up 1.5 million dollars in insurance claims in a year. Of course it is never said, but do employers find a reason to let go of employees with high medical claims?
It seems that in the past year they have been trying to find a reason to get rid of me. They gave me a warning 6 months ago for having a bad attitude (I guess nobody is allowed to have a bad day and vent within reason) and when I was fired they never gave me a solid reason, just that I hadn't followed thru from the previous warning. I'm shocked and sickened! How could I have been such a good employee to them for all those years and just let me go with NO severance. If they would have layed me off, I would have been entitled to 22 weeks pay. They didn't even send any paperwork on why I was let go or anything! Very upset.
Do I have any kind of case here?! Thank you for reading and any advice you might offer.
