A Whole Ball Of Crap
So in the last 2 weeks here is what has been going on...
I worked my regular schedule until Wednesday the 13th. On Wednesday I have my first employee update on how I am doing with My boss Leanne. She said I was doing well but I needed to focus a bit and not talk with the patients so much. She said she had plans for me to be the only phlebotomist on the shift soon and that freaked me out because I didn't think I was ready since I had only had 3 weeks on the job. She showed me a cheat sheet on some computer things and I practiced so I felt much better about that by Friday. I worked until 11 on friday and then when I came home I couldn't sleep. Around 3 am I finally got ready for bed and turned out the light. As soon as I did the hospital called and they begged me to work the 4-6 AM shift. So after no sleep, I came in so no one would be over swamped with work. It went really well and I went home tired but happy that I could help. Monday and Tuesday went fine at work but one of my alpacas died of heatstroke. I was very upset because she was a pregnant female so I spent the very hot morning burying her then I went to work. When I got to work I start doing some lab stuff and my boss asks to speak to me. Then she FIRES me! With no warning, no reprimands of any kind...just bye. I asked why and she said I was too slow. Since I didn't have any way of knowing how fast She wanted me to be I asked for more detail. She was quite vague and I reminded her that I was disabled with my poor feet and back,but she said she knew that and it didn't make any difference. I am pretty sure that goes against the Americans with Disability Act. So now I am looking for a lawyer and filing a discrimination charge on them. Hopefully it will work out. I gave that job my best and It was unfair that they fired me for no good reason,
The really annoying thing is they could have made accommodations for me. I could have worked night shifts because they are quieter, or I could have worked in Blood Draw where I wouldn't have to walk all over the hospital. i don't know why they didn't try to find something for me rather than just firing me and hiring and training someone new.
I will write more in a bit....
