Woman Fired After Telling Her Boss She Has Cancer by OmiAdu(f): 10:55am On Sep 17, 2014
A woman in Pennsylvania received the termination letter above after telling her boss, Dr Visnich about her cancer diagnosis.

Carol Jumper worked at the company for 12 years before she was diagnosed with cancer in the pancreas, liver and ovaries.

Her boss’ lawyer has however explained that the meaning of the letter has been misconstrued, and that it was simply a “humanitarian” gesture to allow Jumper to collect unemployment benefit. He said the letter was written, “with the understanding that when she is feeling better, she can come back to work.”

Her friend posted the letter online and it has since gone viral. Thankfully, she has been receiving support from people to help her with her treatment and community members have organised a number of fundraisers on her behalf.

Below is the full content of the letter;

“You are currently engaged in a battle against cancer that will be demanding physically, mentally, and emotionally,” reads the letter to Carol Jumper, 51, of Hopewell Township. “You will not be able to function in my office at the level required while battling for your life. Because of this, I am laying you off without pay as of August 11, 2014. Your last paycheck will be mailed to you this Friday, 8/15/14. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you fight this horrible disease. Thanks for your time at Visnich Oral Surgery. I hope your battle is swift, smooth, and successful!”
