When the company sees you as a liability instead of a asset, they will try any means necessary to get you off the payroll. My health has declined over the 25 years that I worked at this company in Memphis, Tennessee. I truly gave 110% to my job whenever I hit the door. I was there on the job when no one else was there. I accumilated several thousand hours of sick time. Now that I'm sick and have to go to the doctor the company (Memphis City Schools) does not want me to use any sick time. They actually would prefer that I quit and go out without full retirement. This would save them some money, my retirement money that I had worked so hard for all of these years. I was off work going to an orthopedic specialist for health conditions that came about because I was always on the job. When I returned to work with my doctors statement, I was written up and sent to Labor Relations because I was off the job so many days. My best advice to everyone who has this problem or something similar is to go to your labor union or get a lawyer.
