I have mixed feeling about this post. I've been on both sides of it, when my dad went down due to a heart attack I had what felt like the weight of the world thrown on me. I had to run his company and put on a lot of hats I had never worn before. I couldn't sleep at all, even sleeping pills barely worked.

I've also been the employer where I've had unreliable employees. Call me callous or whatnot but life goes on even when we're not able to do the job. If I had an employee that wasn't coming to work I'd replace him. I would find a way I could get rid of him for good without repercussions when he/she did come back to work.

I feel for your medical issues but at the end of the day if you can't do the job they'll find someone who can. It sucks, it's somewhat heartless but lots of people face it at some point and time. You might have some recourse depending on how they are cutting your shifts if they didn't do it by the book.

I would do what was suggested above and contact labour relations, see if there is anything that can be done. If not work on getting better and then finding a new job. Medical EI or disability might be available if you are not able to work.
