I have been on FMLA leave since September. My doc and I finally decided that it was time for me to go back. I have to be back to work at 10am tomorrow. My boss is a super control freak guy, so I know it made him mad that I took the time off. Plus I bypassed him and dealt with HR directly.
So...who thinks I am going to get canned tomorrow? Michigan is an at will employment state, so they can fire me without reason if they choose to.
UPDATE:
Short version:
I got fired.
Long version:
I got to work a little early after stopping of to take advantage of my McDonalds buy one get one breakfast sandwich coupon. I didn't want to go in hungry. My manager was there and I sat around and bullshitted with him for an hour or so. We went outside to grab a smoke and I asked him what I was going to do today. He said that we were waiting for the Area Director to get there. That wasn't a good sign, since the AD literally doesn't even know how to get to our store. We sat around and chatted until the AD got there, then had to wait for him to get off his cell. The whole exchange took a couple seconds, but he told me that they were not going to continue my employment. I said fine. They asked for my company issued BlackBerry and I proceeded to wipe all texts, emails and browsing history and took out my memory card. He asked if I had any other questions and I said I just had one.
"My kid's mom ran up my bill last month. Can you take care of that for me?"
He started laughing and said he could see why I am so successful in sales. I am never afraid to ask for what I want. Then he said no.
