So I just got fired. I had worked there for over a year. Over a year and a half ago I was assaulted (inches of my life) by my next door duplex neighbor. A few weeks ago his dad (who was there at the time of the assault and did nothing to stop his son) came into the restaurant I worked at. I told him to fuck off and go to Dominos.
Looking back I can absolutely see how I was wrong. And any other company would fire me on the spot. That I get. Well my boss put me on leave for a week and finally met with me. Instead of being professional and just saying “hey your actions the other day were unacceptable we can't continue with your employment”. No, instead I spent my last dollars to meet him for him to publicly embarrass me and verbally abuse me. At a meeting I put my best foot forward in. I put my best face on and he actually mocked me in the cafe parking lot. I literally just met with him to beg for my job back, he said to just come in on Monday and I may or may not still have my job after that. He says “I don't know how that's gonna work for you” to which I responded bluntly with “it can't possibly work for me to pay my bills. I've already been off the schedule for a week. I need to work, I've been depressed and haven't even been showering.”
I told him about the assault before I got hired. So he knew about it. I even said I have PTSD from it- which I do. I don't look at anyone the same after my next door neighbor of 2 years nearly killed me. Then instead of just firing me, my boss dangles my employment in front of me after putting me on leave for a week. I'm still trying to get my job back (god knows why) despite the treatment from my boss. But I check the mail today and look at my W2 (tax document for those not in the US) and he put a stamp on it that says “Healing PTSD”. Is that fishy?! I'm honestly asking you guys. It feels jaded and directed at me. Because if he actually cared about healing PTSD, I would still have my job after that leave and I wouldnt be sitting here stressed about what I'm going to do to pay the bills. The guy offered me to come back on one day and when I challenged it he told me nevermind.
TL;DR: got fired from a PTSD outburst, boss put “healing PTSD” stamp on my W-2
