Thanks for your post sundog. I completely agree. My co-worker has only been back for 2 weeks and they have already met with him to "reevaluate" his job description. He had been taken of nights 7 years ago when he was first diagnosed (we work shift work) and NOW 7 years later they want to discuss whether or not he can be classified as an Inspector.
I already knew that my employer was capable of this, so it came as no surprise, but it's different when it happens to a friend and also when he has the same diagnosis. We are part of a union, so I hope they can help him out. He so doesn't deserve it and has enough on his plate coming back from a leave. It's disgusting.
