I honestly don't know where to begin or how to even feel at this point. I am a 28 year disabled veteran. I was hurt in the military where I destroyed both my feet and recieved a horrible head injury. My feet injury causes me to have to sit once in a while and my head causes sleep issues for me now so I'm required to work during the day.
Well I was hired by Amazon in their Aeliability and Maintenance Engineering department. Mainly fixing motors, conveyor systems, and robots. I was hired for day shift do to my head injury this was stated during the hiring process several times, as well as being documented and disclosed through the disclosure papers provided during the hiring process. Did all my trainings, and then was pulled off to the side by a manager telling me I'm actually on nights now from 7pm to 530am, I explain my situation to which I'm told “I either do it or I'm fired” well I Cant get fired and not get paid so I bite my tongue and went about my schedule shift, was doing it for a couple months till I had a medical emergency where I ended up in the ER (02/13/2022)for a heart arrhythmia do to sleep deprivation. After I'm checked out and release I update my manager about what happened and that I need to have my disabilities accommodated. (02/15/2022)I explained my whole situation to him on how I submitted all my proper paper work for accommodations. Come to learn that the person I handed in all my paper work to quit and never submitted my documents so I told I need to resubmit everything. So I start to get all the documents and such around and makin Dr appointments to get everything up to date for them to.
I'm then told on 02/16/2022 that my shift wont be from 7p to 530a anymore but 9p to 730a starting on our next shifts. So I was pretty upset since I Already had trouble with sleep deprivation. I go to my supervisor/manager and tell them about how my accommodations are in the process of being submitted and I will soon need to go on another shift. He tells me he will speak to HR about it and get back to me. I didn't hear anything back from him or HR about a shift change so to not get in trouble I went to the 9p to 730a shift from 02/23/2022 to 02/27/2022. With out complaints or anything I did what was required of me even though it was putting my health at risk. I said one more thing to my manager about my accommodations for shifts. He tells me he would let me know. Then on 02/28/2022 at 10pm I get a call telling me to not return to work and that I'm being let go do to safety concerns. I ask what safety concern so I can improve on it. They tell me they Cant discuss it. So now I'm at this point where I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I definitely feel like its directly related to me needing accommodations for my disabilities.
Is there anything legally I can do? Is there anyone I can reach out to about this? Like I'm supposed to give a 2 week notice when I leave a job, but I get a random phone call at night just telling me I Cant come back to work. I'm just so lost right now, I really loved that job. I worked really hard, I enjoyed my work, I did everything I was required to do. Now what?
