  1. I became ill due to compromised immune system due to months of long and late hours of work to try to stabilize a website that was messed up by an incompetent contractor. My doctor recommended several months away from work to recover. I asked for, and was granted, three months of Short Term Disability ... which the company loudly touted as one of its benefits. Two weeks into it, my employer stopped paying me, citing some vague insurance requirement. When I tried returned to work so I would get a paycheck, both HR and my boss told me I could not do so because I was on short term disability. I waited out the remainder of the three months and then gave my notice the day I returned. I worked remote, so it was by email. Neither my boss, my director or HR even bothered to respond. I just got the COBRA notice in the mail a few weeks later. They didn't fire me ... they just stopped paying me and wouldn't let me come back.
