What is the name of your state? Georgia.
One day after working hard all day (1/26), my recently hired manager accused me of not doing much work for the past two days. He decided that I was suspended without pay for three days.
During my three days I thought about what in the world could have brought him to such a point that he would accuse me of something so ridiculous, I’ve never been accused of this before. I figured out that this had to be the result of resentment he built up because of my numerous questions and frequently importune approach. I recalled many times he said I didn’t focus and wasn’t organized. This all made me revisit a decade and a half old diagnosis of ADD. An online survey result spurred me to set an appointment and find out what I could do.
When I returned to work (2/1), my manager wanted to talk about the benefits of my suspension and I played along. I mentioned that his criticisms reminded me that I had been diagnosed with ADD several years ago and I believe that this is at the root of the current situation. He asked, “you were diagnosed with ADD?” and I confirmed that yes I was. I informed him the next week that I was prescribed medication at my doctor visit (2/7). The next day (2/8), he gave me the written Employee Warning Notice with the false accusation and on the remedy section he wrote, “Suspended three days with no pay. Discussed benefits of suspension. Mentioned medical condition, will seek confirmation.” I asked that this statement not be there because I didn’t feel it was relevant to the accusation and he said he would let me go if it wasn’t there.
On 2/11 I was laid off due to lack of work, though three employees who I am senior to are still working and no one else is laid off.
Is this fair or have I been discriminated against?
