Thank you all for the info. I am going to remind my employers about ADA. I talked to my boss last week, and he basically does not like me. I am a good worker, but I have issues. I have a chronic condition, I am a single mother, and I have court issues with a custody battle, all which force me to take time off of work. I try not to call in sick-I haven't in awhile.
I think that part of it is my illness, and part of it is my boss listening to gossip, and petty tattle tales. I float around as a lab tech to different offices, and one office manager hates me all of a sudden. She calls my boss daily complaining about everything from my dress, my shoes, drinking coffee, the phone- etc. She put down a bunch of petty rules...like I cannot mingle with her office staff or wander through the office. Stupid stuff. She has already ran off two great lab techs from my company who could not stand to work there. When I asked to be removed, I was denied and I complained and wrote a letter to the union. My boss didn't like that. Also, one of my co-workers must really have it in for me because he/she as been reporting that I take 2 and 3 hour naps (I take a 1hour lunch break nap) that I leave early, have a bad attittude, etc. Apperently my boss beleives them. I wrote him a really kiss-Best if kept off the board letter along with the letter from my Dr. explaining that I needed the one hour rest period. I haven't heard back yet. I appologized for my "resentfulness" at the situation with the office manager who is still tormenting me. I don't mean it, but I need this job, and I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and kiss-up-somthing I hate to do. But I can't help feeling that I am on the verge of being let go. In our chat on Friday, he mentioned me staying on "long-term" as if I didn't want to. I just need a break from 10 hour days. I don't know what will happen. I know that today my boss and the office manager met and words were exchanged, but I don't know what was said. Hopefully, I will know tommorrow. And I will definetly check into the ADA and into our unions policy.
