I'm confused as to what my fiancee' can do about this situation at his current job. He got a virus that progressed into Pneumonia when he was made to come in the next day he had to work after he called off with a doctor's excuse. The virus was similar to Staph which requires rest. He called in and let the supervisor know that he had a Doctor's excuse but the supervisor urged him to come back to work on his next day of work which was the following day. When he spoke with the supervisor they stated that he had been wrote up and put on probation for a year! He being afraid to lose his job he goes into work despite the rest the Doctor said he needed and ended up getting taken away by ambulance at work. The supervisor later notified him that some of the other supervisors didn't believe he was sick, and that they will still continue to write him up. They eventually approved the second doctor's request for him to have bed rest, but when he returned he worked for about a week and then his building supervisor wrote him up yet again. Telling him he has to be held accountable for his absences despise being gravely ill. We live in a At Will state, but what exactly is considered EEOC? What should he do about this? He's ready to go to another job because of this. Can someone with experience in this field give me some insight?

What was your experience like? What should I expect?

Resigned August 4th after I requested to step down from a leadership role. Was covered under FMLA and the ADA. SSM should have allowed me to step down as a "Reasonable" accommodation under the ADA law. They did not. I took my case to the EEOC who is filing charges of discrimination based on disability against SSM. Shame on SSM Health!

I have read some entries that sounds like a constructive discharge labor law violation. For example, an employer making your work place like hell, so you can feel miserable every day at work that's a good sign of constructive discharge, so contact the HR department and hope they can help or contact a labor law attorney or the EEOC for assistance. Look up constructive discharge in Google, it helps.

I am a long time Mainframe Adabas/Natural Programmer/Analyst who spent too much career time with this really very good product (1985-2014). I also worked and working with Visual Studio (more VB and less C# but not at work) and SQL Server (at work, 2003-2014). I am doing home projects with all these Microsoft Products: SQL (BI, SSIS, ETL), VB, Excel, Access.

One of these projects: my job search tracking. Between May and November 2016, I've submitted 750 job applications and had 35 interviews. As of today, zero job offers.

There is a link to my blog: http://www.michaelealfes.com/blog/my-job-search-status-detailed-report-as-prepared-for-eeoc with attached detail report of my job search and its zero results. http://www.michaelealfes.com/uploads/4/7/6/2/47624087/michael_alfes_-_job_application_log_20161106.pdf

Go to your local EEOC office (google it) and file a complaint with them. IF they pick it up, you have a great case and it won't cost you a dime to pursue it. They have discrimination attorney's on their payroll to assist you.

All the best!
