@lynda.leads: Approved FMLA leave does not automatically protect your job from termination. Pre-existing performance documentation, conduct violations outside approved leave, failure to communicate with your employer, and suspicious patterns under intermittent FMLA can all create legal grounds for termination even while you’re out. Understanding exactly what FMLA does and doesn’t cover is critical for anyone navigating leave in a difficult or toxic workplace. This video breaks down the specific circumstances where termination is still legal on approved leave and what you need to do to actually protect yourself. #learnontiktok #lyndasays
They fired my friend on fmla and then she sued them and won! You cannot get fired

Just because it's legal doesn't make it ethical.

To those who are saying FMLA is being abused, why do you care? Lol. Workers rights are exploited constantly and wage theft is the largest form of theft in America. If someone wants to take a few weeks off let them.

Dude at my work got fired after FMLA was was suddenly denied after like 9 months or so. He was gone for a year, then he sued & got his job back and his year back pay. Wrongful termination bites companies all the time.

If I’m on approved FMLA for an extended period of time for ANY reason, i don’t give a FUUUUCK about my boss or coworkers or what’s going on at my workplace 🤣

Everything you just said does not align with being fired while in FMLA. Poor performance, etc is addressed “after” you return, not while you’re out.
