I was sick more than usual last year. I found out, from a source that I trust, that my employer (a few months ago) considered trying to fire me because of it, should my health not improve.
I am shocked and I am not sure what to do with this information.
I was thinking about brining this up with my bosses, but don’t know what’s the point..
I think it’s likely that they will either deny this or ask me to understand as they seemed to consider the situation unacceptable.
I have been working for the company for many years, and I definitely don’t understand.
I feel stuck, because with what I know now, I don’t want to continue working for the company.
Even though my health has improved a lot in recent months, I don’t feel well enough to look for/start a new job with a different company yet, considering the probation period etc.
Thanks for your coaching.

What thoughts emerge as interesting or intriguing to you from this list? What do you want to investigate further or follow up on?
