Is it wrong for a company to play favorites even if it is not descrimination?
If I request a medical leave and get denied when they have been granted for others before with them not even asking can I sue?Also others have taken off for being in jail and for unpaid vactions. The vactions they asked for and the jail of course the didn’t. I asked and now they are making me get them all kinds of stuff from my doctors. Also my compant does not have an HR person when I was denied by my company I brought up the others that had taken off with or without permission now they have an HR person working with me from the main company that owns us. They have never told us to call.

If the company has a policy regarding medical leave, then it is best that you comply with their request for items from your doctors. If, in the future, you feel they are discriminating against you, you will have a record of complying with them in case you need to take further action.
As for other employees in your company getting vacations and time off without notice, perhaps that will change with the new HR person.
If you still feel that you are being treated unfairly, consult an employment law attorney in your state.
