I realised my earlier jobs did some unethical shit

Ok so yesterday I had like an epiphany, that my last two jobs, one I don't really count considering I was only there for two days, so like the former job I got fired from because during that time I kept fucking up, no matter how much I tried, and it was that time I was trying to get help for undiagnosed ADHD and executive dysfunction and trauma from a bus accident. It was causing me to forget shit or accidentally overlook things. Me and my boss one day had a talk on how and why I am such a fuck up and at that point I had mentioned the accident and my illnesses and he was like why didn't you tell us at the start and tbh I really didn't think it was all caused by it. And that was when I made a huge mistake, afterwards I just…


Ok so yesterday I had like an epiphany, that my last two jobs, one I don't really count considering I was only there for two days, so like the former job I got fired from because during that time I kept fucking up, no matter how much I tried, and it was that time I was trying to get help for undiagnosed ADHD and executive dysfunction and trauma from a bus accident. It was causing me to forget shit or accidentally overlook things.

Me and my boss one day had a talk on how and why I am such a fuck up and at that point I had mentioned the accident and my illnesses and he was like why didn't you tell us at the start and tbh I really didn't think it was all caused by it. And that was when I made a huge mistake, afterwards I just kept working but then got sick. Next day I get a call from my job agency that the work was gonna let me go. I come there and he basically said the same thing mentioning my accident and how it was effecting me mentally was why cause he didn't know how long this would go for. Looking back on it now I should have seen it as them letting me go based off my disability as discriminating.

The next job was at a real estate place, and I remember I never even signed a contract for the job, even tho it was a full time permanent role. I remember it was literally a sheet of paper that I had to fill out my name and everything. That job was a nightmare, they had put a ton of work on me with little training at all, and I was expected go do two jobs basically. And I remember getting yelled at for not attending to a client even tho I was on the phone to one. I was also called out for shaking my leg, (again ADHD) and the manager saw that as nerves. At the end of the second day I got fired and I pretty much walked out of that place in tears.

I'm in a pretty good place now and with a good job but I wished so much I had the knowledge I did now back then. So point of this story, please please educate yourself on your rights in the workplace and don't let anybody at work bully you and push you around. Thanks for listening.
