do they have a battery back up in them? yesterday I noticed that my smoke detectors are hardwired in to the electrical system when the power went out the green light on them was out and not blinking, does that mean it doesn't have battery back up?
No, age discrimination is based on her age, not others. She more likely can't stretch any wrongful termination into the worker's comp claim because that is already taken care off, yet she still has the same position. Heck, even I'm starting to wonder if she is the problem. In your content, you talk about her complaining, (her) feeling threatened, she thinks this, blah blah blah, so, it seems like all the problems comes out of her mind and what she believes/thinks. It is nice that you want to help your friend, but there is going to be a point where you just going to create issues for yourself because of what she wants to do. I think she is a manipulative, narcissistic work diva with a work mentality/attitude that just wants to take advantage of everything. My impression of her is that she tries to knock people or employers down, and then kick them again. I mean, she was willing to cry workers comp for a surgery and use the wet floor as the excuse. She can't be a team player, she takes advantage of situations for personal gain, stretches things (makes these crazy connections) and if she gets fired, a clear reason will be the poor attitude. Its not illegal for employers to fire an employee due to poor attitude or performance. It is best that you don't stick your neck into this one, or else you could get bitten too. Her methods can explode and the fallout can become very big. YOU SHOULD NOT GET INVOLVED WITH HER BECAUSE SHE IS THE ONE CREATING THE PROBLEMS TO BEGIN WITH AND YOU WOULD JUST BE CREATING A HOLE FOR YOURSELF.
Stay away- you could end up getting dragged into this and getting fired yourself. I don't see anything in you question that would indicate age discrimination. She seems to really be taking advantage of your employer's kindness and flexibilty. If I were you, I would not put an X on my back and would decline to comment on her behalf. Don't put your job in jeopardy because your friend wants to win another lawsuit. Employers know who the HR troublemakers are and keep very detailed records. Chances are, they will protect themselves very well and will limit her ability to litigate.
Caleb you could go out and get a job and support yourself- pay the rent and the light bill, buy groceries and get a car and make payments, insurance etc, then try to go to night school cause you don't want to be a busboy forever- then you would be totally away from your controlling parents and no one would bug you- except maybe the police and the local pedophiles. Your parent will back off on being so controlling when you start demonstrating that you are trustworthy, maki good decisions and otherwise mature- until then you are a little bit of a brat- Actually your parents aren't controlling you- they are protecting you and are trying to guide you into adulthood. There are too many parents who really don't care what their kids do or who they hang with- I understand that you need to gripe about parents- all people do- I did too
