    Thanks for the help.But FMLA is a grey area when there is 50 people or less.And at the state level , it's 25 people.I already knew this.It's all a set-up to let her go when she goes back.Sometimes you have to listen to what's not being said, to understand what actually is being said.She needs to find a new job asap, and walk away from this.It's the healthy and more realistic course of action.I know it's not fair, but life rarely is.......

    My dad used to say that there is no such thing as fair. He said fair is something you go to ...He was a very wise man.

    If your wife is a good employee and good at her job they arent going to want to replace her. I dont know what she does but it it takes time and money to hire and train someone. It would be easier for them if she just returned to work. Can she return before next week?

    gixxerboy1-good point.Never thought of that.I think it doesn't pay much.But she would be eligible.It would be better to have something coming in as to nothing coming in.But, she still needs to find a healthy job.They will let her go for anything at all.That's what the end result of all this is going to be.

    Yes, next Monday or else.There is no one else there that does what she does.That's initially what I thought was driving this.It's a gamble.I've been wrong before, but after the lawyer calling, I tend to believe that ill will intentions are at play here.

    If she is really the only one that can do that job they might just be desperate. They cant keep wondering if or when she will be back. If its that small of a business the owner may be worried about stuff getting to backed up and might just want to move on if she will be out for more weeks. If they gave her another week to come back it sounds like they want her back, They could have just fired her now.

    Altoidmike- that's what we are doing.It's all over, and a new chapter begins. And some people just do not have problems sleeping at night due to the fact they have no morals, scruples, or conscience.What goes around comes around.His day will be on the horizon someday.

    Gixxer- This is true.But, they may think that it's a bad idea under a doctor's care.I told her to find something else and move on.She asked me what she should do when she goes back?I said don't say shit to anyone about anything.It will only make things worse.Let's hope it's desperation on the company's part.

    Don't you just love MA? I can't wait to move out of here. The best thing you can do cause I am sure that you gf is very stressed out right now. On your free time look for jobs she might be interested in. As said in a previous post work with her on sharpening up her resume, unfortunately the end of her current job is here (I don't know how her boss can sleep at night). Make the best out of a bad situation it will relive stress from the both of you instead of thinking about her current job.
