She put a leave of absent's letter in to her supervisor last week along with the required doctor's notes, kinda like kindergarden...lol. Doctor said 5/6 weeks until she'd be full strength, so she put late Feb. for a comeback date. Well, today she went to pick up her recent paycheck and the HR woman told her if she can't be back by Feb. 8th, that she no longer had employment and would have to reapply and she could be rehired if they needed someone and would lose her time served :violent1:, real nice. All i could tell Linda was f'um. Sorry for the mini rant, just needed to get that off my chest.
