A Worker Asked For FMLA To Care For Her Dying Father And Was Fired Eight Days Later | Employee...

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message. (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...) An eight-day timeline can decide a career. We walk through a live case where an employee asked HR for FMLA paperwork to care for her father with stage four cancer—and was terminated a week later. The dates, emails, and decisions form the spine of a story about retaliation, interference, and the hidden legal duties managers carry when life crashes into work. We break down how the court let two FMLA claims move forward, why “temporal proximity” matters, and how interference doesn’t require a completed form if the employer already knows leave is imminent. Then we zoom into the details that rescue disability claims: not vague symptoms, but clear functional limits—dumping syndrome after stomach surgery, extended bathroom breaks, concentration issues—and how those realities explain metrics like pending counts and closing ratios. Along the way, we demystify the interactive process that employers must initiate once they’re on notice, and we examine the risk of a supervisor saying “I don’t need details,” which courts often view as willful blindness rather than professionalism. You’ll hear the strategic shifts after Judge Russell’s order, the difference between retaliation and interference, and how pretext is proven through timelines, emails, and a dormant final warning that suddenly reappears. For employees, the takeaways are practical: document requests, connect health to job functions, and keep a paper trail. For managers and HR, the message is urgent: engage early, ask how to help, and document accommodations before discipline. If this story hits close to home, subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review with your biggest question about FMLA or accommodations—what part of the process feels most unclear to you?
