I know not many know me, but I would like to say everyone i have met so far seems way cool. If I may offend anyone in advance, sorry. So before moving here I was doing Fire Alarm work for a company, not a bad company, nothing to write home about and made a decent buck for ball busting work, literally ended having to have inqual hernia operation from it, LOL. So I had to fight for temp disablity through my work while I was out. Returned to work stating I had to be on light duty for 3wks to heal up, my boss told me we dont have a thing called light duty here, so a week later my stitches blew after being healed up on the outside. So a month later returned to work but yet failed hernia syndrome. Neverless July rolls around and doing some hardcore work again getting all sweaty, exhcanging out emergency lights I get shocked off a ladder about 3ft off the ground. So I start having issuses with my back and hernia site like crazy. July 19th 2010 was my last day of work with them due to all my problems was placed back out on temp disablity, thats a nightmare to deal with. So after months of PT, AT, OT 4 rounds of epideral thorasic injections (1 with no ansthesis), I get a lovely letter in Sept. from my job stating we have been footing your health insurance bill you owe us $800 some odd dollars and btw if your not back by Oct 12th 2010 your position will be terminated, we dont have to protect your job anylonger according FMLA. So neverless got canned. So finally HURRAH and I do mean HURRAH I finally got clearence to go back to work but I can only do light duty or sedentary work, so I filed for UE and got approved after moving to Oregon, got a letter from my old work in Ohio which by the Ohio UE they deemed I was fired without just cause, stating "we received notice that you are now able to return to work and are looking for employment, please contact us as we have a postion availible in our shop.", So I respectfully called the company and left a msg since the owner wasn't around, stating "unfortunately I no longer live in Ohio and by medical reasons i would not be able to do the shop work, due to I can only do light duty and or sedentary work with a max lift of 20#". So now i get a notice from Ohio UE stating an appeal has been filed, $%(*(^#*%$%@()&*$+_*$)^@)$%^(!_&)$_!^($^ (censored). So now I have contacted lawyers cause now I feel that maybe I should file a wrongful termination suit and harrasment, I mean this BS, 1st off they didnt want me to get temp disablity, didnt want me to get UE when I 1st filed stating i was fired for absences and tardiness, had to fax all my med. stuff and such to UE to prove it, then they ruled I was fired without just cause, got approval for UE. They demanded money when i was freaking broke and got terminated from them, not the 1st time they took money from a paycheck either. Damn I feel like cruising back to Ohio and smacking a-holes around. Sorry for the vent, I feel a little better, just sucks cause if I could find a job I would take one cause 186$ a week aint shit in my book, when minium wage fulltime pays more. Just sucks to lose shit, sold off my dream car (well losing a good paying job made the call easier, plus my back being all messed) to make the move happen cause the wife wanted to be closer to her family and in hopes of better jobs and people in general and housing LOL. Please dont take in count of my vent as I'm a bitter person, I just need to vent and dont like to let my wife always know and well if anyone is like me sometimes if you let it bottle to much you have a tendency to snap. NOt looking for any pity or sympathy or replies not trying to be a dick, was just a late night to stressed to sleep rant/ vent. Well night all.
