I worked for a financial company in the DFW area and was up for a major promotion, part of the new job would have entailed attending mgmt meetings after hours, shortly after was informed of my pending promotion i was diagnosed with t-2. This put me in a bad position, if i attended the mgmt meetings i could have a problem with going low and i happened to mention this to the vp i worked for, nothing was said for 2 months and one day i happened to ask him about when the promotion was going become official, he told me that it was decided that i was incapable of doing the job because i might have a problem attending the after hours mgmt meetings.

I went back to my desk, drafted my letter of resignation and handed it in that afternoon. During my exit interview i put the fear of god in the hr manager when i described what had happened and why i was leaving. I heard that the vp came real close to being terminated.

I was on the verge of leaving that company before they stuck it to me and this was the straw that broke the camels back, i did contact a lawyer about filing a claim but it would have a been a long process with little benefit other than to have slapped that company on the hands, so it let it go.

The moral to this story is be careful of what you tell your employer and you can get in a world of trouble if you happen to test your BS in the wrong place, I used to go out to my car to do that.
