I had to leave my job of 11 months because the owner of the company and my immedisate boss is a prescription drug addict. I am a person in recovery with 2.5 years of sobriety and could not work with a person under the influence on a daily basis. I tried to get her help, she went to my rehab for 10 days but returned to using shortly after. She contested my unemployment and I am almost out of money. I loved my job, was great at it and went above and beyond what I was hired for. I would still be there if it were not for her refusal to deal with her addiction. It was a small company of 7 people.
Can I file a lawsuit against her for being under the influence of drugs in the office and forcing me to have to choose to leave my job?
