    Illness and Lost Job

     

     

    I have been hospitalized four times in the last year for Bipolar 1.  At first my company was understanding, but slowly they became impatient.  I was on short and long term disability and did work for a brief period of time. 

     

     

    This past September I had just come off my last hospital stay and my company wanted more proof from doctors and the facility I was at.  At the same time they were conducting a investigation of my employment history.  they gave me several reasons as to why they felt I should lose my job.  I was backed into a corner,  I never performed badly, never a had any type of corrective action and ran stores successfully for them.  Given the fact I new they were planning to terminate me I resigned and now am facing bankruptcy.
