You probably know this, but that boss cannot treat your hubby any worse after filing FMLA, and, no FMLA absences can be counted against him -- no matter how much vacation or sick time he's accrued.<BR/><BR/>Your husband can probably get into other protected classes too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462129981306834664.post-33957682574472542552008-09-04T06:43:00.000-04:002008-09-04T06:43:00.000-04:00Hateful versus Hostile if you ask me!

A hostile work environment is so awful because the stress it causes creeps into your whole life. I'm sure the stress isn't making his medical condition any better either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462129981306834664.post-16663300672903321632008-09-03T08:56:00.000-04:002008-09-03T08:56:00.000-04:00He did not disclose at the start of this job, no. ...He did not disclose at the start of this job, no. He did tell them within the first few months. However - starting a new job now he would probably need to disclose to explain why he walks the way he does otherwise they may think he came to the interview drunk. I think he should use a cane - it shows that there is a disability causing the gait issues and they are not allowed to ask about it by law. I'm working on getting him to accept this idea of mine! :)Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399022634436650094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462129981306834664.post-55538812410263679112008-09-03T00:47:00.000-04:002008-09-03T00:47:00.000-04:00That is a very hostile work environment if he has ...That is a very hostile work environment if he has MS or not.<BR/><BR/>Can I ask does your hubby disclose his MS when he starts a job? I wonder because I will be looking for a new job in the next few months (god willing this flare will subside) and I wonder if I should disclose that or not.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13498350103500754085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462129981306834664.post-75491213879648334582008-09-02T16:14:00.000-04:002008-09-02T16:14:00.000-04:00Sounds pretty hostile to me.
