Reply to comment by HarriettDubman in McDonalds workers take in more than 50 people during storm by citytiger

Sorry, working for McDonalds tends to skew your view of corporate America.

I did five months, my wife was upper management for six years. She was fired because she didn’t go to work after ex landed her in the hospital after beating her senseless.

The person who fired her was her BiL.

So, again, tell me how awesome corporate America is?

Yea that doesn't sound like the fault of corporate America in this case. She was fired illegally. This sounds like a family member abusing their power over personal issues.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that's illegal to fire someone for missing work because they were hospitalized?

Not in an at will employment state.

Yes, including in one of the 49 at will employment states.

As long as the company is of a certain size, fmla is a federal requirement. I think last time I checked McDonald's had more than 50 employees or whatever the small number is that requires fmla.
