Ok, Ive been putting off writing this blog bc I knew it was gonna be hellaciously long but I might as well go ahead and get it out the way. Im gonna be pretty upfront and blunt in these updates and Im sure some feelings are probably gonna get hurt just as some people are gonna be pissed…Oh well! Lets get on with it…

Over the last few months to say my life has been a shitload of ups and downs would be an understatement. Im gonna try to give the abridged version so this wont bore everyone to sleep. Well, most of you knew I was out on disability again from February to July. I went back to work in July and my boss told me that part of my time wasnt covered by Met Life (the disability company) so I needed to contact them. Upon doing so I found out my nit-wit ass doctor hadnt submitted my paperwork since back in April so ML had closed my claim. However my doctor assured me she wud get everything updated immediately so everything was cool…or so I thought. Come August 19th my boss tells me he needs to talk to me, pulls me into a conference room with the Assoc Director to politely tell me that they were firing my ass bc ML never updated the info and as far as they were concerned, the time out was simply looked at as excessive absences so I had to be terminated. Needless to say, I went the phuck off! I went home called ML to which I was advised that my doctor still never sent the paperwork. Ofcourse, me being the black woman that I am, called my doctor and went off 10 ways from Sunday and told her I was coming to her office. This trick gonna tell me she went on vacation and forgot to send the paperwork when I had called her previously to. WTF?? Bitch your job is to sit and listen to my woes and submit phucking paperwork…what the hell u mean you forgot??? I was 38 hot. It wasnt like I simply got a reprimand…I GOT FIRED! So I stand over her while she sends all the paperwork. I call ML to make sure they received it so it could be processed. So, I wait my usual 5 business days, which is what it normally takes for them to approve my paperwork, then I call to find out the status to which Im advise bc the case was closed and had to be appealed it was gonna take 45 days. 45 DAYS??!! I cannot sit at home with no pay for 45 days! They apologize and basically say “oh well, deal with it” Not to mention I cudnt file for unemployment bc it could affect the reinstatement of my job so I literally have to sit and do nothing. Finally 3 weeks later ML calls and says all is approved. Woo hooo! So I call Verizon to advise and find out about me being reinstated and these bitches are gonna tell me they arent reinstating me bc I missed too much time in Mar 2008. Yes, I said MARCH 2008. So Im confused as phuck bc we work on a 12 rolling calendar so how you gonna look at something I did a year and a half ago?? Of course I escalated to upper management but again, they claim they cudnt reinstatement bc of all the time missed. Now my thing is this….if you fired me for a SPECIFIC set of time that wasnt covered and then it was discovered it was a error and that time was corrected and covered, how can u then go find something else and say thats why u not reinstating me? So, naturally everyone told me to contact a lawyer and sue bc that has wrongful termination written all over it. I thought about it but honestly, I really dont have the energy and mentality to go thru all of that so my azz is looking for a new job.
