I have been working for the past 5 years at this job and have had some health problems so I have talked to my boss several times to see If I could work evenings, or split or flexible shifts for a short time while I am going through a rough health issue. she had me talk to H.R and the only thing she could offer me Is a FML ( I have a Dr note too) I conteplated It when I got this awesome offer at a desk job,flex hours and closer to home so I quit! Well this new position when I called him to say I quit He said he was soooo sorry but due to unforeseen circumstances in his own company he cannot hire me now! He says he feels very bad but his wife just lost her job and he needs to put her in my position. He did say he would write a letter that he did have every intention a month ago to hire me. I immediately called my old job and she said she filled my position already (IN one day?! I think she was happy to be rid of me!) I am able to work doing most anything! please help me with any advice, you really helped out my friend!
