My name is Jon I was a mechanic at the D.C. For three years. On May 29 I was severly injured while on the job. My right thumb was shattered below the first joint and it took aproximately four weeks to be sent to a specialist after a misdiagnosis at the clinic you are taken to when the injury occurs.
I was sent to physical therapy and final diagnosis by the surgeon I was told surgery was a must. The Supervisor in my department some days later called and said I was able to return on a light duty status. I returned to work on 7302 to what was suppose to be light duty and was not. I performed my usual maintenance tasks to wich I have all my daily worksheets. This causing further irritability tomy right hand. I took a day off on 852 for the care of my hand. I returned to work on the 6th and continued my maintenance duties "again not light duty"until
8132.
I went into surgery the following week and I contacted The human resources dept. Some weeks later to find out tha My job was under possible termination because of the day taken off in
August. I set up a meeting with the head of the HR department and was told she would look into it.
Some weeks later I called so speak of a possible release to be informed Termination was in the process. I was given a number to call at the coorperate office to speak to the head of employee relations I have made 10 or so calls and left numerous messages with no response. Today in the mail I have received a letter of termination wich means I loose all bennifits once healed. I loose my stock options and my vacation pay. Please do explain how this works
Thank you
