Furthermore, the letter stipulated that I requested it on a day I was not scheduled to work, did not contact anyone from work for any reason and (finally) how many HR people actually ever worked on a Sunday?Seems like a "bums rush" out the door to me, especially considering that it was a decision of a manager that resulted in my permanent injury, surgery and ultimatly, the inability to perform my function hence, out the door I was sent. So LT, it seems to me that although my "position" is safe (providing I send a registered letter every month for the rest of my life stating intent to come back if I ever recover), the employer seems to benefit more under FMLA...

The frequent and long-term absences of an FMLA employee requires additional staff to fullfill the job duties during their medical leave, added costs for overtime, distruptions of entire departments to allow the FMLA employee to retain their job title, and execessive manhours spent with the employee when they finally return to work. What protects "The Company" who is in need of strong and staff members who are able to work regularly??
