So if it weren't for my medical issues, my job would be a dream. Decent pay, great benefits, good coworkers/supervisors, and I love what I do (I work with animals). The issue is, the pace and workload numbers are such that my body literally can't handle it. I'm epileptic and my seizures are related to stress/exhaustion. Before I got the job (started a few months ago) I averaged one minor seizure every couple months. Since starting the job that average is now up to once a week, with severe seizures happening more often as well.
Last week I got ADA accommodation paperwork processed. My requests were mostly related to my hours/schedule. It all got approved within a couple days.
My supervisor has seen me have seizures multiple times at work, and I've told her it's directly related to exhaustion from work…
Today, after all the ADA stuff, she randomly decided to double my workload (from about 300 critters to 600). I'm meeting with my job coach this week to figure out my options.
Also, disability benefits isn't a viable option for me. In my state, the most I'd qualify for wouldn't cover bare minimum living expenses (the most I could get is $794/mo).
