The Cellar - View Single Post - A possibly stupid employment question ...

The start date is next summer. If this isn't going to work out, I have to put Plan B into action asap. Once they've signed the contract there are penalties to them if they 'terminate' me prior to the start date. My concern is this dragging on and on while they look for someone 'more suitable' (i.e. someone without breast cancer).

I was thinking of calling the CEO, but I agree: maybe a registered letter would be better. I could articulate my concerns without being misquoted or misunderstood.

However it goes, the bloom is off the rose. C'est la vie.

Maybe I should start a practice consisting of breast cancer survivors. We'd have a minor problem with urine drug screen collections - have to find a male to do observed collections. Volunteers?
