Happy Easter John and please try to enjoy this day.
I strongly recommend that you get a consultation with an Employment Law attorney before you make any phone calls in this situation to make sure that you protect your possible claims under federal and state laws that prohibit discrimination because or your age, disability (or perceived disability) or because you were out on medical leave just to name a few. Such attorneys are listed on this website or you can call me in the morning.
