It was under new management, including the guy who fired me. He was replaced. I didn't expect them to try to kill me FFS, or to fire me while I was out on sick leave and cut off my insurance during a pandemic. I had busted my ass for that company for 6 years and had only ever taken 1 sick day. I was middle management making decent money. I didn't expect to be thrown out like a piece of garbage and left to die, essentially.
I was so sick I couldn't get out of bed for 3 months without falling on my ass repeatedly. They claimed they only "had to give 2 weeks for Covid." No, Motherfuckers, the feds pay that. You fucks have to give me FMLA benefits and continue my insurance. They didn't. I got lawyers involved.
They also lied on my termination report and said I "just didn't feel like working." I will wager all the money I have that there is a HUGE percentage of people who were let go due to covid (including work-related like mine) who were falsely reported as "quits" like mine was. This cost me the federal Cobra subsidy that would allow me to get desperately needed medical care. This is because the employers have all the power now. OSHA and FMLA are a fucking joke here in the US of a-holes.
I made the "mistake" because I wanted money to live on. I was out of unemployment benefits. They lied about their Covid precautions, then did everything possible to infect me (unmasked employees in my face all goddamn day, every day) until I got it so bad I could barely stand.
I would be rioting in the streets if not for Covid. I am in pain all day a year later. My heart and brain are severely damaged and I doubt I will ever work again at this point. This is how corporate America treats people now, and gets away with it.
