Question about employment in a non-union mom and pop store...

Have a friend who works at a local convenient store and having troubles with the boss. Before he told her she was a model employee, now he's saying she isn't doing her work. He has called her a liar on two occasions, and says she has to do more work (cleaning and such). There are two men who work there and they refuse to do any cleaning and get away with it. They take smoke breaks, she doesn't smoke. He is IMO trying to get her to quit. Is there any recourse she has legally? She is looking for a different job, but no luck yet. This all started within the last couple weeks, when he hired a new guy, who incidentally wants her hours. She has been there the longest, almost a year.

Just back from 2 week post op doctors visit...

Everything is great. I've had no problems what so ever. I feel like I'm cheating because, so far, everything has been pretty easy for me(except the not being able to eat much) . I hope it continues this way. I was moved to phase 3, soft foods. I am down 29 lbs.

Home from the hospital and feeling great...

I went in Monday (April 1) for my gastric bypass, got home yesterday. It went really well, almost no pain. I am home feeling great for just having surgery. I have to keep reminding myself to slow down. Doc said I could resume life as usual as long as I remember I just had surgery and no heavy lifting. Oh and drink, drink, drink!

I want to thank everyone for their well wishes, it really means a lot.

The only bad outcome, so far is I have red, itchy welts ,from the tape they used, on my stomach and sides
