Feeling defeated

[Lookingforhope20100]

I have discovered that us working adults don't matter to this world. My employer thinks she is smarter then a doctor leaking false medical issues about me, and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Then when I proved all of them wrong they blasted my medical records. But it gets worse, I was then put in a hostile work environment that made me feel anxious all the time causing panic attacks. I was hospitalized last night due to all of the stress and got a work note from the doctor giving me the weekend off. When presented to my manager she fired me and then told me a bunch of lies as to why I was fired. But unfortunately I can't prove anything. Thank you all who take the time to read my rant.

So sorry this has happened to you. It sounds like a very toxic environment. Probably best that you're not working there anymore. If you have proof of the things your manager did, you can take legal action. Not sure what type of job it was or if it would even be worth taking any action. Just be happy you're not around those types of people anymore. I wish you the best ❤️

Dear Hope,

Since you live in the USA, there is such a thing as HIPPA laws and you have a wrongful termination case against your employer. I would strongly suggest that you hire an attorney immediately to fight for you. Many of them will help you on a contingency basis. How do I know this? I had a similar case a few years ago. My employer made discriminatory remarks against me and touched me inappropriately. I basically told him to go f..k himself and I was fired. I hired an attorney to represent me and he did so very successfully. The case settled for well over $100K and I paid the attorney 1/3 and got the rest. It was worth the fight and took less than 1 year. Protect your rights and find an attorney who specializes in wrongful terminations. And consider yourself fortunate to be out of that toxic and hostile environment. Good luck!

Oh dear so sorry to hear that. Its sounds like you are much better out of it and hope you manage to get another job soon - a nicer one too.

I am in the UK and learned many years ago that to employers and managers we are just a number who is only there to be worked as hard as possible regardless.

It makes you a bit cynical but that's life sometimes.

That is so wrong and sounds like a very unhealthy environment, I'm sorry that happened to you. I sincerely hope you can find a better situation.
