I got fired from my job Friday...

[debm55]

36. I"m sorry to hear that, I hate to break some bad news, but here in PA, one is not eligible for Unemploment Comp If one

fired only if one is laid off.My story is I fell down two flights of stairs. When I came to, I asked them to call an ambulance-no or take me to the hospital.--no. I was told to drive myself as the hospital was right down the road. I , instead drove the 10 miles home. Was tired and went to sleep. When my husband came home, we took me to the hospital . I had a concussion. I didn;t finish the school year. I had to take physical and cognitive therapy.I returned the end of August, I was a teacher. and given the worst schedule. I taught Art on a Cart and had to go between the two floors. I was cut down to 3 days a week. When I was late so the teachers missed 10 minutes of their 40 minutes prep period , teachers complained. I was still walking with a cane. I got called into the office and told to clear my stuff out as I was fired. She watched as I, my dad and my husband cleaned out my cabinet. She said she didn't want me to take anything that belonged to the school. Nothing did, I bought all my supplies and as such I took them all to the dumpster and threw them away. I called Workman"s Comp. and since only children saw me fall, they couldn't help me. Nor Could UC. as I was fired.It was a Catholic school, non union. I had the highist senority and a BS, and two MS. degrees. I was told by friends to get a lawyer. I did want ever go back to that hell hole again. As I left, I turned and told both the priest and her to "Both go to hell" and never entered a church again. I still get envelopes to donate but I throw them away. What I did so was apply for SSDI which I got the first time with no lawyer.
