> Thanks, SDJ. I have cooled off a bit, but I plan to get together with my co-workers to reach a consesus. The managers boss is a very reasonable person, and has fielded many complaints about this person already! (Makes it seem futile.)

It's tough. You may want to do a search on ADA law, just to make sure she's not violating your rights. You are entitled to your doc visits, etc. as long as you are not causing an "unreasonable burden" and I don't think you are.
> It would be best for me to keep quiet, but very much against my nature. I am definitely manic at the moment, and that is when I speak my mind, then get shown the door :(

I know how that feels. It would be a good idea to finda spokesperson to speak for your dept. as a group.> And in this state (Florida), your employer does not have to have a reason for dismissing you - and it is perfectly legal. it is still considered a slave state for that reason.
>Utah is the same way. "Right to Work" states are hardly that. The ADA laws provide some relief. If I didn't learn my own rights I would have been fired in spectacular style.
