Is it Greed, Spite or looking for justice?

I worked for the largest telecom company in the United States. I took the job because of the pay and what seemed like a good career move. I was trained to answer billing questions then to upsell customers into buying caller id, DSL, Cingular PCS, and any other product that was required. I was a top seller, partly because my voice sounds young and I was nice to everyone, no matter where they lived. One moment I was talking to a movie star, Ned Beatty.....the next moment a working mom from compton. It did not matter, the customers liked me and bought whatever I offered. The selling was not an issue, I made a commission and I liked the products so I felt good about what I did. What I did not like was how I was treated. I was told to be there a half hour before my shift started to open the computer programs in order to serve the customer. I was not paid for that time. When I started getting sick, and taking time off I was followed by company security to make sure I was not going to the mall and going to the doctor. When I would return after my time off from being sick, I was called names like FMLA Queen, lazy, and taking advantage of the benefits. When I was on chemo and working, I had to ask for permission to go to the bathroom to throw up. Someone would come in and ask how long it was going to take because there were calls to be answered. I was told by the attendance manager that I should quit because I was missing too much work. I did not quit. I was fired and given long term disability.

I was approached the other day by another former employee about a civil lawsuit on unfair business practices. She asked me to join in and get justice for the treatment I endured. I met with the Lawyers and they were appalled at my story. I shared story with a former coworker, and was told I was being greedy and spiteful.....after all the company gave me medical for life and a small pension after they fired me. I had a hard time accepting her comments....am I being spiteful or am I seeking justice? I really don't care about monetary rewards from this lawsuit....I want my story told so people know that if you have a disease you are considered lazy for not going to work. I lost my hair, endured harsh chemical drugs but was considered abusing the benefit plan. How is this greed? How is this spiteful? Why am I considered less than a human for having a disease? The former coworker says I am disloyal to the company for participating in the lawsuit......my answer to her that they were disloyal to me when they asked how long I would take to throw up. Company loyalty has nothing to do with humane treatment. We still live in America....We still have rights.......What do you think?
