My boss has known since November that I am capable of full time work and in need of more hours. I have worked there longer than anybody, and have great relationship with their customers. It has recently come to light that my boss is actively discouraging the other waitresses to ask me to work their shifts when they need a day off, and telling them if they need a day off they should call "Sue". I also know for a fact that "Sue" does not want these extra hours. I have my health insurance through these people, otherwise I would bite the bullet and move on(I am anticipating another surgery in the next couple months). I feel as though this is a slap in the face, as I have been nothing but a good employee for 15 years--never sick, never taking vacations until this illness. Is she discriminating against me because I had cancer? Because I had HPV? Due to health insurance issues and possible upcoming surgery, it'll be a little hard to get another waitressing gig right now.
Kevin--thanks for the link. Not sure this applies to where I work, as there are less than 15 employees
Thanks for letting me rant.
