I must at this point mention the treatment I received from the management of the place where I used to work! I had always done my best for this company, but they always were of the opinion that I somehow was faking my illness or that I didn’t want to work! This is just not true. I must admit that I see their point of view to an extent.
On the other hand I was treated unfairly and discriminated against. I feel that the public and people with biological unhappiness need to hear about this. This type of behavior needs to be stopped and in a hurry, as these people have enough stacked against them in the first place!
Let me point out some of the things that I feel were unjust and unfair in their practice. First, I was fired and lost my insurance a few months before Christmas when I still had a year to go on my sick leave.
(WONDERFUL THING TO DO!)
They said there was nothing else that I could do. Doesn’t that seem a little far-fetched coming from a multibillion-dollar corporation? Surely they didn’t look at all the possibilities. There should have been something that I could have done.
I must admit the treatment I received from the plant manager was terrible, to say the least. He always acted like he was doing me a favor and his attitude showed that he didn’t think I was really disabled, yet I had all the information, doctors’ notes and everything, that stated that I truly was disabled. I have had my foreman take bets on how long I would make it back to work; just to let you know he bet on two weeks!
Now does that sound like I got a fair chance to you? I was harassed by one of the quality control personnel and to prove this I had to have two special union meetings with my union reps present. This happened not once but twice with this person, and they later rewarded him for harassing me by making him a foreman!
(THAT’S THE KIND OF PEOPLE WE NEED IN CHARGE.)
I must admit this treatment made it nearly impossible to go to work anyway. You see, I was in a no-win situation and with all the trouble I had with them I honestly could not work without fear of the company picking on me. It was three years before they would let me go see my doctor without any points, and I had to get a lawyer for the reasonable accommodations. Now does that sound like they were working with me?
This type of behavior simply should not be tolerated. People with mental illness have enough to deal with to get better, let alone the added pressure of their employer hassling them. I can assure you that it makes you look bad to all your peers also, and this only adds to the trouble that you are already dealing with.
So if you know someone in this position, please be kind. They do want to work and are trying the best they can. Please give them the respect and honor they so greatly deserve. They are just like you and me with some crosses of their own to bear. If this helps just one person with their employer then I feel this section has more than served its purpose.
I must let you know as of this revision there is still much progress to be made in the work force for people that have mental disorders and yes they get shit on and no one seems to care. I mean we must help these people try to work in any way we can because if we can give them some self esteem, you would be surprised at just what they can do, so let’s stand up and be counted and put an end to this negative stigma and make ok to work with a mental health disorder.
Best Wishes and Lot’s of Love,
