What is the name of your state? new jersey
Here it goes.
I had epilepsy before I started working for the state. I was already being treated for epilepy at this point. I was still getting ceizures and technically was not totally cured. The presure was getting worse with the new supervisor and I wanted to transfer out of the group because I was afraid that I would get a ceizure during the workday.(since stress was the number one cause for ceizures occurance). I confronted personnel with a request to transfer and supplied the doctor's notes to them and they concurred that with the documentatiobn that I gave them perhaps I was not qualified for my position in which I currently at. I didn't know what to do at that time. However, when I started going to a doctor in Phila.,pa they found the medicine that worked 99.9 % of the time. But by this time personnel and management were used to pointing to my disability every time something went wrong and suggested that I wasn't doing my job. well, I tried to tell them that I was basically cured and provided the documentation to prove it, That didn't seem to convince them. They seemed to be on a vengence to get rid of me or force me to leave. every time I went for a transfer my manager fouled it up for me. So even though I was cured but management ws still under the belief that I was still ill and they had my initial documentation to prove it. I filed for an ADA just to protect me from personnel and management from using my disability to get rid of me. (this was the reasoning of the union to do so . I was not initially told that this could backfire and actually not come out as expected. personnel said that it was a good idea and the best thing I could have really done under the circumstances. ( bullsxxx to that one). So after the ada form was sent in, then personnel then told me the real reason about having control as to what they could do to me. Thats when I started to ask you questions pertaining to what rights did I have dealing with personnel and the doctor's recommendations and what possible outcomes could occur.
Sorry beth3 this was long but I hope you can understand this and please help me? As you can see this is a total mess and my job is on the line! Thank you very much for being patience and my family thanks you for your time. Sincerely . Don Rago
