I hear you...

Fairness though is subjective. I think the fact that there was any position waiting for someone that missed 6 months of work is pretty understanding of the employer...

It sucks when someone is I'll. But it wasn't the employers fault. Why should they bear the burden? For the 6 months of illness, the other employees probably worked harder, and longer. They had to readjust their lives. Perhaps additional staff were hired, etc. no employer has to provide employment.

I don't want to be insensitive. I am puzzled why you feel that what occurred was unfair. Legally, the employer could have let your wife go 3 days into her illness. They waited 6 months, twice the legal requirement which they aren't subject to...

I don't think you should hold negative feelings towards your employer. They did more than right by you. Life isn't fair, your wife broke her leg. Your employer didn't cause it, and the fact she still has a job is pretty great...
