What is the name of your state? New Jersey
I have a lot of neural disorders, many related to sensory input/processing. Then you add the clinical depression, the anxiety/panic disorder, the agorophobia and the any number of other things that doctors have claimed me over the past (literally) 17 years and you have the disaster known as me. I've been in and out of doctor's offices since I was 7 and on meds about as long. I have the DSM-IV codes, GAF codes, and doctor's statements to prove it, so I'm not just whisteling in the wind here. But I'm alive, and I like being alive even with this nasty hand I was dealt. Yeah I'm a bit bent, but I also have the high IQ and savant skills that come with this kind of thing.
Here's what happened.
My boss decided to give me "special treatment" without telling me, then acused me of taking advantage of it. I asked him to stop giving me special treatment and tell me what the real rules were, but he refused, claiming I wouldn't work as good without it. He continued acusing me of taking advantage until I went to seek out the company rules. When he found out, I was fired.That's the short version anyway.The crap of it is, the depression et al doesn't hurt my work, just me. That pisses me off hardcore because I would actually use my work as an escape. The nerve. The friggen nerve. They gave me a 4% raise a month before I was fired because I had upped company profits.
There's more, but I'll see what you guys do with this. I am already in the painfully slow process of filing with the EEOC so I can get 'right to sue' papers. If you need more info, I have plenty. They left a paper trail a mile long.;-)
PS. Termination paper says reason for firing was that I "was not happy working there." Unemployment did a telephone interveiw with them to determine my eligibility for benefits and found that my termination was not work related based on whatthey heard. So then what was it...?;-p
