Antiwork

Today I was fired from my federal job based in a regional office in the Twin Cities, MN, within my probation period, for “performance issues” with a timeline that began shortly after I was hospitalized for a mental health crisis (I have bipolar, and was hired under Schedule A). They say even though I was hired under disability status, I’m not given any protection – but the HR guy gave me a crumpled up piece of paper for where I can file a complaint.

Bringing her up all the time. The organic manager was telling me she was causing trouble still and bad mouthing me. I tried to ignore it but somebody would always bring it up. Her friends on days all disliked me. I addressed it to people telling my side of the story without going into too much detail. How did you deal with this?
