[QUOTE="Star*, post: 83823, member: 4964"] Hey T, Sorry about the job. Mostly sorry that you had to work somewhere with a pedantic jerk like that. Seriously, there will be a better job down the road, with a better person to work for. We don't deserve to be treated like cattle in the workplace and those of you who are? Keep looking, there are nice employers out there that have an understanding of what it's like to try to raise a family and have 2 people working. As far as writing him ANY sort of letter? OHHHHH bad move. Don't!!! It can and will be used against you in court. If you send a letter with any emotion in it at all or ask him how he would feel if...it can come back to bite you. They will paste you out to be an unstable mother who is over stressed and emotional to the point that it lowered your job production. A compliment is nice, a letter is nicer. Also don't assume you will get unemployment. He can pull your attendance records and make a nightmare out of it. Telling unemployment "But I had kids, they were sick" doesn't help your case. Stick to the facts, you were a good employee, you were complimented several times regarding your job performance, you requested and were approved for most of your days off, and the ones you weren't approved for you had someone keep in contact with the office due to extenuating circumstances. NO EMOTION. And yes, take it to the labor board, but for goodness sakes don't tell him. And you can talk to an attorney about wrongful termination and possibly sue, but you had better have your duckies in a row. Chronic absenteeism from any job regardless of the situation is not a good thing - I know - I was a single Mom in a strange town, no family NO friends and difficult child was outrageous A LOT. I can't tell you how many jobs I lost due to that. Now I have a job, where I'm appreciated, not yelled at...and the boss has 2 young children and a wife that does not work. But she can't imagine how she would work with 2 kids. Something to keep in mind for your next interview. Good luck TF...you won't need it; you're dynamic, fantastic, skilled and a good person. Maybe your next employeer will be human. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
