My Daughter Was Fired Today

[slightlv]

48. I took early retirement about a year before Covid hit

Everything I did was via WiFi, whether I was in the office or remote. I am also disabled. During a rehab stint after a replaced hip, I kept notes on everything I did and proved how much more efficient and productive working remote actually turned out to be. However, when my supervisor retired, the new one was one who didn't like "conflict" and the department manager was one who, like your daughter's, didn't believe anyone whom he couldn't see wasn't really working. After 2 years and using up all leave, I decided to take early retirement and stop killing my body and emotions. I could have continued to fight on the basis of my disability... heck, if I'd stuck it out just one more year, -everyone- was working remote thanks to Covid, but I was really suffering physically and emotionally by that time.

It's not fair, and it's not right. And I'm in KS, as well. I've played the whole thing over in my mind so many times since then. Could I still sue them? Shoot... it was DoD... could I sue them at all? Your daughter's going to need your strength and support, cause she's going to have these same type of questions and even ill feelings for a long while roiling around in her head. Hopefully she can find another job that will bring her sweet justice for the one she lost. But don't be surprised at any bitter feelings that come out at strange moments. I've had to accept them from myself and just let them go, or let them eat me up from the inside out. Still, there are times I'd really like someone to backstab that supervisor who didn't have my back... just to give him a taste of how badly he hurt me. How in the world that man ever successfully led a group of men in war, I'll never understand. Maybe it's just women he had a problem with, as well.

We women DO seem to be a problem for a lot of men, don't we? (sigh)
