My other post was deleted because texts only can be shared Sundays. I wrote it out for you.
I go on bereavement leave and get a surprise proposal from my boyfriend, (he regretted not doing it at Christmas in front of his dad, so did so in front of his mom) only to return to work to have your epilepsy flare up from the stress, exhaustion, and expectation that I’ll work 2 consecutive shifts, and then 8 days in a row. The DM was very kind to give me paid leave knowing my impending engagement and elopement.
I had a medical emergency during my double shift. I started to see an aura and crying. My seizures make me emotional so I knew I didn’t have long to call someone. It was 11am and I was alone in a store until 3pm.
My doctor called back after hearing my voicemail & told me to leave or I’d most likely have a seizure with no one to help me. He said he’d call my mother to come up there as well, since I have her on my hipaa papers and refused an ambulance. I called my DM. She was extremely worried and said to go and I left work.
Manager is on two weeks notice but taking pto and cussing me because she had to work since I’m out for a few days. My epilepsy is no secret. I’ve never been accommodated for it beyond having the day off after markdowns because the lasers in the guns make me throw up.
My manager tells me they looked up the obituary for my late father-in-law. That there was no funeral at the funeral home and makes passive aggressive remarks about me distracting and keeping my fiancé happy. As if people can’t grieve differently.
So, I say I’ll just bring my key. They won’t see me Monday. The upper management coaxes me into not returning my key. They want me.
I get a threatening text from manager: “I will see you Monday. HAVE A NICE LIFE XANAX”
Update: DM says manager is turning in her key today and we’ll talk Monday. I feel I’m either being apologized to, fired, or going to have to listen to lies about myself. Anything less than an apology and working together going forward, I slide my key across the counter.
