It’s been over a month since I started trying to get ADA exemption from being forced back into office twice a week because of my anxiety and the distance I have to travel. I’ve been gaslit and denied and lied to, I’ve been fighting and signing and arguing.
It’s been 6 months since I started my job and I’m still being told to stfu about pay even though they tried to lie to everyone about me starting at a higher salary than my coworkers who have been here for 2+ years and do a better job.
It’s been 1 week since I shouted about how we are all dying under the culture of toxic positivity and ignorance in our office and how we are all suffering under the crush of expectations and the reality of the world.
Save all your communications. Save the paper trail. Record everything. HR will not save you. I’m already looking into legal representation if I lose my job or if I am denied my right to my exemptions due to disability.
It’s not just about not working – it’s about making the people who force us to work uncomfortable.
HR is not here for you.
