I work at Amazon, here’s what they recently did.

For some quick details, I am an undiagnosed epileptic. Started having some really, really nasty episodes 3 years ago, the doctors still don’t know why despite the multitude of tests I’ve had to go through. Well, back in October of last year, I had a really bad episode where I stopped breathing entirely and wasn’t able to make it in. Later that week, after my head started to feel better, I brought in whatever paperwork my doctor had given me. Nope. DLS wouldn’t accept it. Had another episode. Same thing. Wouldn’t accept the note my doctor gave me. Ever since then, I’ve been walking around with an invisible target on my back because I have time they blatantly REFUSE to excuse due to a legitimate medical emergency. I even asked them what paperwork they need from me, brought that in. Nope. They said I don’t have the PTO to cover…

I even asked them what paperwork they need from me, brought that in. Nope. They said I don’t have the PTO to cover and that they couldn’t do anything for me. Tried getting an accommodation too, they denied that outright. All because the doctors don’t know what’s wrong with my brain yet. I can’t give them a diagnosis because I simply don’t have one. It’s all speculative at the moment.

I can’t afford to lose my job but I also have no clue what I’m supposed to do in this situation either.
I’m over my attendance point warning and up for termination anyway. Might as well start job hunting again.
