Hi, I am have been on LOA for three weeks and returning back to work on 3/16. Before my diagnosis I was offered to take on a brand new store, I am a retail manager, I was introduced to General Contractor as the the new Store Manager, and my peers were informed of my new role. I was involved in the hiring and onboarding and training of employees for this new store, in which up until my last day before my surgery. I have communicated to my manager, that I would be ready to come back, with the doctors approval on the 16th. The store is scheduled to open on the 26th. However, I was informed through the rumor mill that the store was given to another Store Manager, in which I have confirmed with that manager. I feel that the actions were wrong, as I have stated numerous times before my Leave that I would be ready to take on new role, as well as after my surgery. What are my choices, if any?
Thanks!

Hi Shannan,
Many apologies for not responding to your questions sooner. We get alerts from the website when a new post comes in and for some reason we never received one when you wrote to us and I just found your question. I'm so sorry.
How did things work out? In terms of your options legally, I would recommend reaching out to the National Cancer Legal Resource Center: http://www.nclsn.org/
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Best,
