Fired for Being Sick? 🤷‍♂️

I never thought taking care of my health would cost me my job. After surviving a shooting and learning to walk again, I’ve been fighting to keep my life together. My last job was manageable, but when I switched to a new one, things got tough. Migraines hit me hard, and I did everything by the book—doctor visits, HR notes, you name it. But when I called out sick with a migraine, my boss said my doctor’s note didn’t count because it wasn’t an appointment. Suddenly, I was told my attendance points went up and I was fired, even though they knew about my health problems. I’m young and honestly have no idea how to handle this. Has anyone else been in a similar spot? What should I do next? 😔 #WorkplaceStruggles #HealthAndWork #NeedAdvice #JobCareer
