    Oh, oh, my turn: I was fired on my first day of FMLA for a mental break caused by the ongoing discrimination at my workplace. Woohoo!

    Edited to add: your job is protected for 12 months on FMLA. Your specific position is protected for 3 months after which they either have to give you a job, but not necessarily the same position you were in previously.

      Uhoh. It really depends on how well I do and it is not well so far.
