Grampy's "I'm Loosing My Job" Blog

July 18, 2011
I started this text blog today following a meeting with my employer about my rights under the Family Medical Leave Act.
I will post some history of what led up to this soon, but the boiled down version is that after three and a half years doing the same job, my employer suddenly changed my job description to include physical activities that I am unable to perform.
Because I now can't do the job, they planned to let me go on July 29th.  That date is now on hold while they try to decide what to do to prevent me from filing a discrimination suit under ADA. 
I have until August 3rd to return the FMLA paperwork. In the mean time I need to see my doctors and seek some legal advice to see what my options are.
Historical details that led up to this point will be posted later.
