Well it finally happened. I was fired friday. They asked me to volunter a few weeks ago to leave because I had been out to much because of my back. I told them no...So friday they thought up a good lie and let me go...I am fine with this because GOD has a plan for me and I will just let this door close and the one HE will open for me,open. I just dont want them to fight unemployeement. It is needed. I have enough food and things for the house...So we will be fine for a while. And there are things I can do. We will just see what GOD has planned for me.

Well that was a heck of a way to start a holiday weekend! But it sounds like you have a great attitude. And doors will open where you least expect them. I think you are entitled to unemployment even if you're fired....just has a longer waiting period. I'll keep you and yours in my prayers. Glad you came to the forum.....your sisters will lift you up! :)
My best to all,
Mel

Well, what a bummer. But sounds like you have a great attitude about it. And there is always a better place for you if you trust the one who cares the most. And it sounds like you do. Sending hugs your way.

Ladies, Thank you so much for your thoughts and especially your prayers. This forum is always a place for me to vent or spill my feelings sad or happy. Since I have given it up to GOD I feel so much better and I have only thought about it when my students have either texted me or have emailed me on Facebook. They are really mad...I am only wishing to get unemployment and I will be fine Beverley the people that have falsley accused me will surley be punished in due time. I am not a vengeful person. I only wish to be able to pay my bills and have good health for me and my family. I will keep everyone informed about what happens.
Thank you again Ladies...

Deborah, I am so sorry that this has happened! Hang in there and I am sure that God has better things in store for you and will look out for you and your family in the mean time. I too hope they do not fight unemployment and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! Hang in there <3

Wishing you something better than what you had! These things always happen for a reason and with your positive attitude you will find that to be true.

Well ladies I recieved a seperation notice and my license in the mail today. And on the seperation letter it said they would not fight unemployement. That makes me happy....Now if I hear from the Tech College I interviewed with it would be the best the in the world...So we will see what God is going to do.

Deborah, so glad to hear that you'll get your unemployment and you're already looking for better employment. I'll be praying you get the job your meant to have. Your attitude is fantastic by the way.
Excuse the mess & the noise, my children are making happy memories |

Deborah,
First, what a great attitude you have, will you share some of that with me? I don't feel they deserve to have someone like you! So, you are right, follow God's plan. Keeping you in my prayers. Keep us posted on how things go.

I am so sorry that youhad folks in your world who where hatefull and mean but their life will get what the create. As for you keep the spirits up and knowing that God will provide you with exactly what you need when you need it is what we all must focus on. I feel the world is really testing us and those who keep calm, stay focused and know that they never walk alone will be just fine. Your in my thoughts and prayers.

Ladies, Again you all have proven why so many women here and we all support eachother. We need to keep our heads up and look to the future. GOD has his hands on all of us and all we have to do is make sure we keep our hearts focused to HIM and we will always get what we need...

Well I havent heard from the school I interviewed with but I will call again on Monday. I recieved a letter telling me how much I will recieve for unemployment and we get it for 20 weeks. Still wanting the job though. I have also been asked to work as a nail tech at a local salon. Just keeping everyone updated. I am doing some deep cleaning which my house was really needing.

Deborah, I hope that this event gives you the time you need to heal!! Maybe God's telling you to take a break and let your injury heal! :) Know that those that lied will pay. Even though we get forgiveness at the cross, we still have to pay the consequences of our sins. Just make sure they're not defaming you, because that can really hurt a teacher's record! My mom was defamed by a principal and it hurt her record badly. I wish you all the best!

Megan, Thank you for your sweet words. I know God has his reasons for everything. And for the slander I am sure they know me by now that I do not take kindly to anyone dragging my name through the mud. BTW my son-in-law is from Winchester KY it is beautiful up there..And I am sorry that your Mother had to indure such a hurtful thing in her life.

Deborah- Sometimes I think we can end in jobs that are not really suited for us and are in fact rather toxic environments. Although it is humiliating to be fired, just think of it as they did you a big favor! Make my day sort of attitude! Who wants to work in this snakepit anyway!! Like Disney's Breyer Rabbit said (with a big wink) "Please, oh Please don't throw me in that brairpatch"!!!! LOL As an Occupational Health nurse for several years, I worked with a lot of employees who both were injured on the job or had previous back conditions that resulted in missed work. Unfortunately, employers don't always have good modified duty or accommodations for employees or flat out just don't want to work with someone. In those situations, you just can't win and even if you are a good worker, they only see the number of missed work days. So, things get biased and employers have the right to terminate employment at any time in most states. I have a suggestion that might prove helpful to you. If you will contact your local unemployment office and speak with someone who works with unemployed, they can help you explore some jobs that might be better for your back or help retrain you with skills to work in a different type of job that will work with a back condition. They often have federal dollars to pay to retrain you as well. It is possible that your back condition may not change so what is needed is a way to work with your back and still be employable. There are possibilities for you so investigate what is out there in your area and retool for the future.
Good Luck!!

| I don't doubt that they aren't fighting unemployment. They're getting off easy. Based on what you've told us, I'd say they fired you in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. You could spend the rest of your life in hearings or move on. It's probably better to move on but still, it makes me mad how employers toy with people's lives. |

Winnie, Mara...you both have good points but I have made a decision that GOD will take care of the ones that have done me wrong in HIS time. And I am going to go in the direction HE is leading me. I am no longer upset or mad. I have made peace with those people. Not in person or on the phone but in my heart. My husband is still upset about it because of the way they did it. And another instructor that worked with me they did her the same way. She didnt do anything to deserve being fired either. But she says she is happier and has less stress and she doesnt have to look at the people that at 2 faced everyday. I thank all of you ladies that have given such heart felt comments and prayers..I will let everyone know what happens with things.
