Not only that, but I was in a major car accident in march 2010. My Mustang was put into a pole and my leg was shattered above the ankle and had to be rebuilt with plates, screws, all that.
I am JUST NOW getting to the point where being on my feet for 8 hours a day is managable. I stilll walk with a slight limp and when I go home and sit down my leg often cramps up and I have to use a cane to walk while at home. Its a daily routing of waking up with a fully funtional leg, going to work, coming home and having my leg go to crap.
Another retailer could look at this on any application and think I would be a physical liability even though while im at work I can do just about any physical job that a perfectly healthy person can do.
The main rumor is that my title "MGT' will be "eliminated" and a new position called co-manager or something else will be created and we managers will be allowed to interview for this new position. The big question of course is how much will this new position be paid?
Maybe it wont be too different from what I make now and maybe it will suck big time. They are doing it this way so that people cannot claim partial unemployment.

Wow that sucks to hear. Ironically had a severe injury in 2010 in my left arm when a 05 Mustang hit me at 30 MPH when I was out running. I had compound fracture and it looked like I might only recover about 70% use of my arm. Trust me you really do need both arms to do this job when shoplifters want to fight you. That sucks to hear that you are in that position along with the injury. I guess all I can say is that I hope it works out for you...I know what the prospects are like with a bad injury.
