Pros

great co-workers and sweet company car

Cons

Leadership. I stood to make a lot of money as in January a new business model was being put in place where CS's stood to be paid on commission. I opened a new account in December that placed a huge order to be billed on January 2nd 2018. Somewhere in Mid-December my sales associate concocted some crazy story that I was on drugs. This was while I was in the hospital passing multiple kidney stones. When I returned to work, my sales associate called my wife without my knowledge and told her I was on drugs. The leadership pulled me in for a mandatory observed urine screen. The urine screen was negative for any and all drugs. Later that day my wife moved out of our home thinking I was on drugs. Abbott suspended me for 3 weeks and then fired me citing that I was not at a facility on a certain day that I was scheduled to be there- another lie. I will be suing Abbott once I get my life backj in order as they have created suchj chaos in my life it would be a disservice to let it go without punishment. My attorney is chomping at the bit to proceed. I saved every email, every text and so has my wife. I will update after abbott pays the price for discriminatory harassment.
