Time for catch up. After years of successful employment, including almost 9 years with CFIDS, even in the midst of an FMLA, I seem to be getting into trouble at work. Has my health deteriorated - no. Has my work ethic changed - nope, although I work from home (only reason I can hold down a full time job) - is the brain fog getting so bad I can't handle it anymore - absolutely not - but yet, I find myself in a position where my employer, although saying that my health is more important than my work, and that I can take the time I need to try to dedicate myself to the treatment plan the doctor has for me, my employer seems to have decided that a 30 year dedicated career may be about as much as they can take - even though my job is protected as part of the law due to the FMLA. Seems that if I can't pony it up and get to Bermuda (yes, it is for work), to help get a new contract signed, it will go badly for me. Not sure which was the greater shock to me - the position that my work was not meeting all standards anymore or the shock I was left in when my manager explained to me that a part of my basic job requirements, if I needed to be in Bermuda in order for that contract to get signed, I needed to figure out a way to get myself there or there would be consequences. I've never needed legal advice before, but my intuition tells me that's a streak that's likely to come to an end. FMLA law doesn't seem to matter. We'll have to see how this soap turns out...
