Looking for advice - Wifes job threatened while she is out due to illness
Advertisements [?]
My wife has been laid up for several weeks now. She was to have surgery next Monday but they moved it back a week due to holiday as it was not an emergency.

So she goes into inform her manager that her leave of absence will most likely be pushed back a week.

This asshole told her that he wasn't sure he would be able to hold her position for her. She is laid up due to an injury that was accumulative from activities she has done at work for the last 25 years.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the Family and Medical Leave Act protect jobs during a temporary disability?
