Well, Airborne Express just dropped off a package for me.  It was my Official Termination of Employment letter from my work :angry  :angry   On top of that, Mrs BBT got an email from our (Her) manager asking for my pager, cell, tools, etc back from me.  My manager hasn't called me at all to ask for it back or discuss anything :beat
Well, I notified my attorney and faxed the Termination letter to him.  Something tells me that this will get interesting since it is illegal to terminate an injured worker in the State of California as long as the worker is listed as temporary disabled....which I am.  Also, I ain't giving them back crap unless my attorney tells me to, which he hasn't yet.  As far as I'm concerned, although I love my job, my employer can just kiss my  :ass  :ass
That's it!! They done pissed me off!  Now I'm going for the jugular :eek  :fight

That sucks.  Its not like you are milking the system...you want to go back to work.  Even working is better than being in pain for an eternity...

Call the super and see what he has to say....I'd like to hear that one....

My local manager didn't want for me to be terminated (of course they all say that).  Corporate Headquarters is in Pennsylvania, where the laws are different.  The termination came from HQ, not from the local level.  All I can say is they better have some damn good attorneys that know California Workers Comp laws....because they are in for a heap of hurt now.
According to the laws of the State of California, it is illegal to discriminate against an injured worker, and VERY illegal to terminate an injured worker while they are still listed as temporary disability.  HEads are gonna roll and I'm definitely gonna force the issue.  I've never been terminated from a job in my life, and I'm not about to be now!  I would like nothing better than to go back to work.  I hate doing nothing and those that know me are totally baffled on how I made it this long.  I have never taken a sick day with this employer, even though we have unlimited sick days and when taking a vacation, it was never for more than 3 days because I just simply hate not staying busy.  You know, the hell of it is, while I've been out on workers comp, there have been NUMEROUS times that my employer, managers, project leads, techs, etc have called me for tech help and opinions on how something should be done.  They even had me working on writing up a National Scope Of Work Contract and the instructions for it (For A Major Bank in the US).  I didn't get ANYTHING for helping out, nor did I ask for anything.  I was just glad to be doing something.  Now they treat me like this. :angry

Oh man...I gotta stop before I have a coronary.  I am SO PISSED OFF!!!!!!!!! :angry  :angry  :angry

I wouldn't move back to Arizona if it was the last place left on Earth.  I've lived there twice, and hated it both times.  Too many F'ing Democrats letting the illegals come in and then the working man hasta support them :angry  :banghead  :banghead

That is so illegal.   :angry

It doesn't matter if HQ is in another state, you work in California, therefore California WC laws apply.  I have dealt with workcomp stuff on the job,  for years and even worked for an attorney who handled workcomp shit like this.  Big-Wigs think they can screw over the average working class Joe by scaring them and throwing legal bullshit your way.

Don't let them win!

Good luck!

Yes, I know it's illegal.  And my attorney even sent them a letter telling them so back in February when they threatened to terminate me.  I'm very well aware of California Workers Comp Laws, and I know that they can't, and won't, get away with it.  The only thing is, if the Doctors come up with something like declaring me permanent and stationary, it's a mute point.  But, I don't want to be permanent....I just want to get better so I can get back to doing what I love doing, which is working and boating (I can't do either right now).  But, the insurance carrier is playing they're stupid little BS games now.

Good luck with that.  It sucks to be on your end.   :rolleyes   Either way, you still have to deal with it emotionally (e.g. getting all worked up over it).  You've got the law on your side for this one.  It doesn't matter where you're corp office is, it's where you are based out of.  If you are living in California and are based out of California that is where the law applies.  

Good luck, sorry to hear about that.   :(

Thanks everyone.  Later on this afternoon, I get Fed Ex dropping by now and they have another letter.  SO, I'm thinking, WTF now? :confused  :confused  Turns out that by Medical and dental coverage for myself and the entire family (Mrs BBT and 5 kids) has been terminated along with my employment.  Oh sure, I have the COBRA option, but they want $852.00 for medical and $76.00 for dental PER MONTH for continued coverage :angry  :angry   Them Fockers are gonna have me in the welfare line by the time this is over :angry  :angry   So, today so far I had Airborne Express come with my Employment termination letter, and then Fed Ex comes with my loss of medical coverage letter, and I'm thinking....what's next????  Well, you guessed it, Now UPS shows up!  I wasn't gonna sign for it this time but then I saw that it is my new Shock for my truck :good   Man, what a day.  I ain't done with this yet and my employer hasn't heard the last of me by any means.  The tough thing is that Mrs BBT still works there Part Time....and needs to continue there for a little while longer anyway.
