I need some advice. I've been with this company for 10 years. There was a reorg and my job role changed. That job has no official training because, as far as we know, no one else does what we do. We're just supposed to learn as we go. I was put on a performance plan for missing a few deadlines as there were unidentifiable issues that arose. Close to the end of this performance plan, I took short term disability for 2 months. On my first day back, I was fired. Do I have a case to sue?

Being put on a performance plan usually means “out of respect, we are going to let you keep working for a little bit while you try to find another job”

As far as having a case to sue, I’d contact an employment law attorney in your state to find out your options there. However, PIPs are usually a way for HR to develop documentation to justify your termination, so you may have an uphill battle for a case.

Unlike FMLA, STD is not job protected leave.

It that case, job protection ends the day you return. So, you didn’t have FMLA job protection when they terminated you.

Reach out to the EEOC and speak to them (you can submit a complaint, which os not the same thing as filing a charge). They can help you establish if your termination was discriminatory and/or retaliatory in nature . If so, you might very well have a case.

Everyone who I want to like me or to hangout with doesn’t respond to my texts or tells me they are too busy. This weekend I reached out to 12 people to see if they wanted to grab coffee or a drink or go for a walk. The number of people who just didn’t respond astounded me. I ended up eating dinner in bed by myself and getting brunch on my own.

The only people who reach out to me, I don’t want to hangout with. I don’t have the same interests as them and have to try really hard… cont below

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)
