How would u react if u got fired from your job? ( Archived) (42)

Since I own the company it would be very, very, very hard for me to get fired.... How are you doing beautiful?

I would find another job, after all I was looking for a job when I found this one

I am fabulous John, busy at Uni but love it. Hope you have been well

Retirement life is perfect. I am enjoying everyday. I often wonder how I had time to work. There aren't enough days in the week to explore everything I want to do. Thanks for asking.

Nice to see you here!

That indeed they are. But at the end of the day it is not down to your friend to take it on board himself not to disclose this kind of information. In fact it is best to be honest about any medical conditions because then the employer is aware, if anything was to happen to an employee in the work place.

A company I used to work for employed a person without them disclosing their medical condition (which was quite serious), he put his life in great danger. Luckily we were able to sort this out. But he was relieved from his duties he was currently employed to carry out and put elsewhere.

Rather than giving him the outright sack, to put it bluntly his backside was saved due to making people see reason and coming up with a solution as to how to resolve these kinds of issues. So therefore I put in place that any future employees must provide verifiable Dr's references, certificates ensuring they are physically and mentally fit to perform their job, to include past history also, going back 10 years. Certain working environments it is absolutely necessary to do so, otherwise this can hinder operations. Tough world we live in.

me not work ?
the company whould hunt me down .

they couldn't do it without me !

thats why I make the big bucks

Anyone ever hear of the GINA Act (Genetic Information Non Discrimination Act) that was just just passed into law here in the US last year? It is a major triumph to protect people with genetic mutations from discrimination with employers and insurance companies. It was 17 years in the making and many attempts to get it passed. Still has areas to be hammered out but at least it's a start
A employer now cannot fire you or not promote you because you have a disease caused by a genetic mutation. Diabetes in many cases is genetically inherited. Since diabetes in general does not impact a person as to how well they can do their job(depending on the job of course), then there is no reason that an employer can fire someone or not promote someone who has not disclosed it. However, law enforcement employees can be required to disclose that personal information as it can be used to make sure that it isn't contaminating a crime scene or lab samples as in exposure monitoring.
Many employers get around the issue of asking that question by having a voluntary Health Wellness Program for employees to join whereby the employee fills out a health questionaire regarding personal and family history. Then they are steeered to participate into a wellness program that is the most beneficial for them according to their personal and family history. An employer can look at this history but cannot use it discriminately against an employee. Interestingly, the Americans With Disabilities Act prevents and employer from collecting any genetic information on a person if the Wellness program is not a voluntary one. I.E: a program that offers cash or prize incentives for people to join.
Some of the flaws yet are that it doesn't cover the Indian Health Service or Military Veterans plans or an enlisted military person who develops a disease within 6 months of enlistment. If the military person becomes ill from a genetic mutation in that time, the miltary medical insurance does not have to cover them. There is also no protection for Life, Diability or Long Term Care insurances either so these entities can legally ask you if you have a genetic mutation and deny you coverage based on that, even if you don't have an illness from a genetic mutation. Not everyone with a genetic mutation will get the genetic disease that goes along with it.
This is a major win for families with children who have had a genetic illness but are now free of it and very healthy. These children were uninsurable when the insurance companies dropped their coverage of the children. Now, the insurance companies are required to cover a healthy child, in spite of their past history from a genetic mutation.
It is also a major win for people with BRCA mutations who may wish to have a prophylactic masectomy or oophrectomy to decrease their future risk of the cancers involved. Insurance companies are required to pay for this type of treatment.

dame glade i did my military time , but i work off and on , personal security but if he said do not come in? , thanks dude and grab up my fishing gear .

Having lost my job...over 7 months ago...I can say that it has not been an easy road due to numerous factors. It doesn't mean that I have stopped looking for work but it does get frustrating...

Today they closed the Gulf of Mexico in Mississippi to fishing. The oil slick has started impacting our coast.

If I were fired today, I would be working for the competition tomorrow. My skills are in high demand.

Can't afford to get fired. Who is going to hire someone of my age....except Timmy's or maybe Wal-mart.

I was listening to news reports about it on the radio. The impact will no doubt have a massive financial affect on themselves and their livelihoods, for those that rely on this industry as their income.

On the radio this one guy had just brought himself a $100,000 refrigeration system, but he cannot go out and fish due to the closures. So therefore is not in a good position to make the repayments.

shoot the boss from head.

Our largest industy is tourist because we have 28 miles of beautiful white sand beaches; great fishing and a casinos. Once the oil hits the coast line this is all over!

That is so sad, John. My heart goes out to everyone there. This is going to really affect everybody. Just think of the wildlife it is going to kill, too. So devastating.

Well never been fired!
