Month: July 2022
Long story short, I was working with a new account (about 6 months) and came to the conclusion that it was not working out. I tried to change how I was responding, which just caused the client to double down efforts to undermine me. I asked to change accounts. My Supervisor who had up to that point been very understanding and proactive, agreed but it was up to the Dept Mgr. I spoke with him directly and not only was he aggressive and extremely uncouth, he threw my condition in my face. Because I am bipolar and also have PTSD, which was disclosed under ADA when I was hired. He said, “Well every client is like this. What if I move you and you have the same problem?

I have been at my job for over 22 years, me and my old boss has worked together for 17 of them. He was great but is retiring soon. I have a new boss that has taken the reigns over. He is a previous foreman, and is very business oriented. To be plain he is making my job much tougher than it should be. He is even rubbing others the wrong way, by being overbearing.
