❓ Terminated for requesting personal days - 9:17
www.terminationquestions.com: I was let go after 5 years with my employer. I believe my firing was tied to the fact that I asked for 2 personal days following a month of endless 12-hour shifts they asked me to work temporarily. After asking about my mental health, they sent me 4 weeks’ pay and said that I should have no problem securing a new job. Can they do that?
