NisaletOAM 48 Posted October 19, 2012 Is there any reason that would lead you to believe he's taking this opportunity to replace you? Or are you just nervous about the surgery and reading too much into it? It can be a scary situation dealing with training someone to do your job while you leave. Chances are they just don't want you to come back after surgery to a giant mess. I would definitely talk to the boss and ask if you should just show her the priority issues in your job and not focus on the small stuff that isn't necessarily time sensitive that you can deal with when you come back - afterall, you don't want to overload the temp! Yes I know I already requested a talk with the boss hopefully he will have some time before I end the day to talk to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NisaletOAM 48 Posted October 19, 2012 I don't mean to be the bummer, but depending on your laws he sure can let you go. You menationed he said you were nt perfect but the office liked your work - request (now bot before you begin to train ANYONE) a full assessment of your duties and on a scale of 1-5 how you are performing AND a general ACCEPTABLE or UNACCEPTABLE. If you have a glowing review or even a passable one, and can get i email somehow that they are advising you the training is a temp only basis, yo uwill have a better chance of arguing the disability act - it is harder to prove than it sounds. I will have a word with him today to go over these issues trust me all of this has gone through my mind today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piplula 709 Posted October 19, 2012 I don't know..she could have a case because the 2008 American Disability Act classifies obesity as a disability...just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted October 26, 2012 I'm sure he just wants some work to be done while you're gone, rather than leave everything for you to do when you get back. Assure him that you'll be back in the 2 weeks that you're planning. If you have a desk job, 2 weeks is plenty. Most people feel pretty good by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NisaletOAM 48 Posted October 26, 2012 As an update I have been training my bosses Grandaugther and she is a sweetheart I had that talk with my boss and he said he just wants me to train her so she can help and get so knowledge of the type of job that I do because he want to find a part time job for her when she goes back to college (she is 21 years old). So all seems well and my job should be back when I am ready hopefully all will be well and I will be back in 10 days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
