Risky Behavior Can Include Posting Pictures on Facebook
So, you're diagnosed with depression. It will not get better. You are unemployed for a year and a half. Your problems mount. You live in Canada, so you see see gray skies everyday. Then, your doctor tells you to get away to some sunny climate for a brief time. You take a trip, take some photos and then you post them on Facebook. Oh oh. An insurance company is paying you what are described as sick leave payments. The insurance company sees those pictures and concludes your depression is over and cuts off your benefits. That is what happened to one former IBM employee according to Delaware Employment Law Blog.
The former employee says she is happy in the moment but that before and after she continues to suffer from Depression. Her lawyer has asked for a new psychiatric evaluation. Good idea......
