What is the name of your state? MN
I posted here back in June 2003 telling you all about a memo I received from my boss saying what my "job responsibilities and expectations" were, since she felt I was missing so much work due to FMLA. I also informed you at that time that she wanted me to call her every day I was out on FMLA (I have intermittent), even if I was out a week in a row. I told her I would not do that, since no one else has to, and I felt she was harassing me. I went to our HR person, and she informs me I was wrong; however, she misunderstood what my boss was asking for and just thought she wanted me to call in when I'm not here. I told her, "Of course I call her when I'm not going to be here. But, if I know I'm going to be out 7 days, I tell her on the phone that I'll be out for 7 days. She wants me to call her every day of those 7 days." The HR person then stared at me for about 2 minutes, asked me if I'm out for a week at a time, I said "yes," and she said, "Well, I misunderstood." She continued to stare at me, and I eventually walked out of her office because I was getting no where. I never had an apology or anything. I still feel this was harassment.
Well, since then, I've had my performance review. I got blown away. My attendance was brought into other areas of my review (like production). I got no raise for the first time in 24 years. Not one positive thing was said to me the entire time, and she counted FMLA as "attendance problems".
I could go on and on and on about the difference from all my previous reviews and this one. I know for a fact that this whole review was in retaliation for my being out on FMLA. What is my next step?
Please help. The stress I am working under is enough to knock an elephant down. No kidding!!
