What is the name of your state? Tennessee
I was terminated from my position as a General Manager of a restaurant in May 2005. First of all, I disagreed with the termination and felt that there was some underlying reason (this story is too long to post) they were letting me go, afterall, I did have the most profitable store in the area. I have not been able find new employment since and even began looking into part-time jobs at retail stores to help out the family finances until more permanent work could be found. I have checked back with one of the retail stores several times and last week when I spoke to the general manager at this store he told me that he couldn't hire me because I was a health risk. He said his District Manager found out from my references that my dad had died from cancer and that I had had a scare earlier this year. Yes, I did miss a few days of work and have some tests performed, all of which came back clean, but can my previous employer give such a reference with detailed, personal information? I'm wondering now if this was the underlying reason for my termination.
