All I know is that I had two interviews set up, and then mysteriously they both cancelled, right after this gal came into town. This is not by accident, this is a small town, and neither of the employers would have cancelled unless someone had given them info. I am an occupational therapst, and we are few and far between, and in twenty years I've never had a problem getting a job, until now. I was enjoying a small, forty five minute commute to work, but now, I drive two and a half hours, and am gone two nights a week, away from my family. I don't think this is fair. I would love to look up and smile and forget, but I can't.

You appear to have possible legal recourse from what I've been able to understand from your posts and yes, you should contact a good employment attorney in your area. If this is a previous employer, there are definite possibilities. If this is your current employer, there are other options. Today's workplace has changed dramatically and many employers have implemented internal procedures for your very situation. If you'd like to contact me directly, I can help clarify, if you like.
