Terminated due to work affected by diabetes complications.

The medication 💊 (Metformin) ended up costing me the job I held at Salvin Dental Specialties for 6½ years. Yes, my former company’s lack of compassion played a huge role, but the truth is this medication had my brain 🧠 completely out of sorts. I was struggling, and when I finally opened up about it, the only thing they asked was what “reasonable accommodations” I needed… then put me on a PIP in the same conversation.

My mind was a mess from the Metformin, my vision became impaired due to the diabetes, and after six years of solid work, they showed zero concern for why things had suddenly changed. When I filed for FMLA to get the accommodations I needed, they let me go before my doctor could even finish the paperwork.

I’ve been off Metformin since September, and I finally feel like myself again. On top of that, my A1-C went from 13.5 in June to 6.4 in September. My PCP literally told me, first: “I could have killed you” (because of the medication), and then, “I have never seen anyone drop their A1-C like this in just 3 months.”

If you’re taking Metformin, please talk with your doctor about your options. I’m currently on no medication—just a disciplined diet and the grace of God. 🙌🏿 @highlight #termination #diabetes #ADA

After being terminated, focus on 1) updating your resume and LinkedIn profile, 2) reaching out to your network for job leads, 3) exploring job opportunities on Jobcase, Indeed, and other job search platforms, and 4) preparing for interviews by highlighting your skills and addressing the termination professionally. Keep a positive attitude and persistence in your job search. Good luck!

Retaliation for filing Work Comp

I drove for Crete Carrier Corporation for 4 months, and thanks to them not fixing the Bunk Heater so I could stay warm, I ended up with Pneumonia. Then I went to step out of my truck and due to Ice freezing on the steps, I slipped and fell out of the truck striking my right side and tearing some muscles loose. They wrongfully terminated me for taking NyQuil for my Pneumonia. So I filed Work Comp Claim against them and they reliated against me by falsifying my DAC/PSP Reports. Now nobody will hire me. #termination

“Do you believe giving a 2-week notice is still the right thing to do, even if there’s a risk it could backfire—like getting let go immediately or being treated differently? Have you ever been in that situation, and how did it play out for you?”

My job offer got pulled, what do I do now?

Had a job offer pulled last minute. Did onboarding and even found an apartment close to the job location. It was a tutoring job at a public school and funding got pulled last minute so they fired me. Didn’t even get a chance to work. Now I have no income and other offers. What should I do? #jobsearch #termination #advice

Perhaps take a mental day off. But be careful. Some HR managers don't like it if you take off from work.

My new job

I quit my previous job as an afternoon custodian, for a new position as a daytime head custodian. Overtime, I realized that I was the only custodian period. Then I was told that the head custodians are the only ones who had to snowblow the snow. Then for the summer school season, I had to strip and wax the whole school by myself. Didn't help that the only equipment I was given was the outdated or broken equipment. Then my boss complained that I'm taking too long to complete my tasks even though I'm working alone.when I finally complained, I was written up for being disrespectful 😅 #termination #advice #interview #jobsearch
