I'VE GOT TO GRIPE ABOUT MY JOB AGAIN----SO EXCUSE ME. THEY MOVED ME INTO THE DRIVE THRU AT THE CREDIT UNION WHICH IS SO MUCH MORE STRESSFUL THAN WORKING IN THE LOBBY. ITS MUCH MORE FAST-PACED, NOISEY, CONFUSING AND YOUR STANDING ON YOUR FEET ALL DAY ON BUSY DAYS. AT THIS POINT I AM DOING HERCEPTIN WKLY, HAVE BEEN THRU A/C & TAXOTERE. I TIRE VERY EASILY AND TOLD THEM I WAS TO0 SICK TO MOVE INTO THE DRIVE-THRU. THEY MADE ME GO AND NATURALLY I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE. I CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM I WAS NOT COMING BACK TO WORK UNTIL THEY MOVED ME. I OFFERED TO WORK IN THE LOBBY AT OUR BRANCH OR SEVERAL OF THE OTHER BRANCHES. I OFFERED TO GO TO THE MEMBER SERVICE CENTER WHICH IS THE PHONES & MAIL CENTER. I HAVE QUALIFIED FOR LONG-TERM DISABILITY. THE HUMAN RESOURCE DEPT AT MY WORK SAID SINCE I HAD ALREADY USED MY FMLA LEAVE FOR THE YEAR AND WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR THAT UNTIL SEPT. AND I HAD NO OTHER PERSONAL LEAVE THAT IF I STAYED OUT THEY WOULD HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO TERMINATE ME. SO IF I AM SICK AND CANNOT GO BACK FOR SOME REASON FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THEY ARE TELLING ME I WILL LOSE MY JOB. CAN THEY DO THIS SINCE I HAVE LONG-TERM DISABILITY. THEY TELL ME THEY CAN. THEY SAID MY INSURANCE WITH BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD WILL END AND I WOULD QUALIFY FOR COBRA INSURANCE WHICH WILL LASTS 18 MONTHS. I STOOD MY GROUND AND THEY FINALLY AGREED TO LET ME GO BACK INTO THE LOBBY. HOWEVER, THEY MADE IT VERY CLEAR THEY ARE NOT HAPPY WITH ME. THEY BELIEVE I AM JUST MAD ABOUT BEING MOVED. WHAT HAPPENS TO ME IF I HAVE A COMPLICATION WITH MY TREATMENT. I KNOW I WOULD STILL GET MY DISABILITY CHECK BUT IF I HAVE TO PAY HIGH PRICE COBRA INSURANCE WHAT GOOD IS A MEASILY DISABILITY CHECK. I FEEL LIKE GOING TO A LAWYER.
