Maybe they found out another way? When I got sick I filed for short-term disability in June 2001. I had doctor&#x27;s excuse notes, and one of them was from a psychiatrist. I returned in November 2001 and was fired after being back on the job for two weeks. They claimed to have lost my doctor&#x27;s notes and claimed I did stuff at work during the days I missed. When it went to unemployment the state sided with me as their days conflicted what they claimed, including I was in a hospital for some of the days they claimed I did stuff at work. Someone visited me at the hospital and asked me questions and wrote things down about me. I never knew who they represented. They might have found out by that way.<p>Anyway since they had the conflicts in the dates, I should have filed a suit with the EEOC. But somehow they knew I was mentally ill and tried to get rid of me because of it. At work I had an episode where I heard two airplanes crashing into the building, so people knew I was hearing things. That could have tipped them off as well.
