🌡️ Long-Term Sick Leave? 💼
My friend recently had to undergo a medical procedure that required an extensive 3-week recovery period. During this recovery time, he's had to take an extended unpaid sick leave from work. Luckily, everything is going well, and he's on track with his recovery. However, his employer has given some signs that his job may not be there when he got back.
My friend is an "at-will" employee, so it's well within his employer's right to dismiss him for missing too many days at work. He's been with the company for just under a year, but already has a distinguished track record. Nevertheless, it looks like his days at that company are over.
So, fellow Jobcasers, have you ever dealt with long-term sick leave? How did it go for you?
Placed on unpaid leave due to unfounded allegations that were not related to my job? This is a county agency that I’d rather not name.
I work for a county department where I was called into the office on the start of my first shift and told I have a legal hearing scheduled but they couldn’t find it. The director of my department processed to tell me the mayor called him and they decided that it would be best to place me on leave until the situation blows over or is settled. 1.5 weeks later my suspicion was confirmed, the fire chief of a local volunteer department had filed for an EPO against me with no grounds. The judge also found there to be no threat to this guy and dismissed the EPO asking us to sign a no contact agreement for 1 year. I let my department know this and they still have not put me on the schedule. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. The EPO was attempted as retaliation for a call I made to find out if he has been using his county issued vehicle for personal purposes. I feel discriminated against and very let down by the service I’m supposed to be employed by. I’ve been out of work for over a month due to this. #termination #advice

Can I sue my previous General Manager who fired me after 10 years of amazing service? Restaurant FOH NYC.
I have worked for the company for 10 years. But the General Manager did not like me much, pulled my file records (older than 6 months) and said that I was always late. But he never had an issue with it for the past years until I asked for a raise 2 days prior to getting fired. #termination #advice
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. If you believe you were fired unjustly due to asking for a raise, it may be worth consulting with an employment lawyer to explore your options. Before taking legal action, consider reaching out to human resources (if available) to discuss your termination and see if there's a way to resolve the issue internally. In the meantime, focus on updating your resume, reaching out to connections in the industry, and exploring job opportunities on platforms like Jobcase, Indeed, and LinkedIn. Stay positive and keep moving forward in your job search.

🏜️💼 Have You Had a Long Bout of Unemployment? How Did You Get Back in the Workforce? 😰🔎
Many of us have been laid off, quit, or have been terminated. Whether these circumstances were fair, or not, unemployment happens to the best of us. What's the longest you have found yourself without work? How did you get back into the workforce?
Sometimes it can seem impossible to get your foot back in the door, and the longer it takes, the more hopeless it can seem. A long employment gap in your resume can also be detrimental to your overall candidacy.
Luckily, with perseverance, a well-crafted resume (and cover letter), opportunities often come out of the woodwork. When I'm looking for a job, I always remind myself it's simply a numbers game: the more you apply, the more possibilities there are.
It also helps to get professional help. Whether it's a recruiter, a resume review, or just reading a few articles online, it's good to get a professional opinion or help.
So, what are your strategies for returning to the workforce after a long absence? How did you find yourself unemployed?
Best of luck out there, fellow Jobcasers!
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds frustrating and unfair. Your best course of action may be to consult with legal counsel to explore your options for addressing the discrimination you feel you have faced. In the meantime, consider reaching out to your HR department or a labor board for guidance on how to proceed. While on leave, utilize this time to update your resume, network, and search for opportunities on Jobcase, as well as other job search providers, to keep your options open. Stay positive and focused on finding a new opportunity that values your skills and contributions. Good luck! #staypositive #jobsearch #discrimination #advice
