Got fired the day after Requesting a disability accommodation.
I asked why I was being fired and he threatened to call the cops.

I am.
Already spoke with my lawyer.
Already contacted the local OSHA office.
Sent pictures, made recordings

My man, I document EVERYTHING.
I also have the interaction recorded.
These aspects of law have become a bit of a special interest

Modification of break policy so I can step away from my workbench for a minute to calm down. It would effectively be no different than someone going to the bathroom.

Only became an issue because if someone was working near me I'd say "I need a minute. " and he said I was on unauthorized breaks.

And the accomodation I requested when he called me was a modification to break policy so I could step away to a quiet room to calm down and avoid having an anxiety attack. It would effect them no more than allowing people to go to the restroom.

Oh yes.
Not sure how silly it sounds, but someone in their office area has two dogs running around every day.
They had no problem with that but standing in the bathroom to in-2-3 out-2-3 was not feasable.

This sorta thing isn't really quick. Lots of waiting for responses to letters. And I'm not sure what I can really say about em is whether it makes me feel confident or not.

It was not for an extension nor for a specific spot. It was just standing in the bathroom for a minute. Because I said "I need a minute" he started saying that he heard I was taking unauthorized breaks.

The previous evening he called me and got kinda upset that I brought up accommodations, saying that I should have mentioned this during my job interview.

It was shockingly blatant, not even trying to preemptively build a defense against a charge of retaliation aside from "Nuh-uh"
I am painfully aware of how this sounds like a "And everybody clapped" story

I had no problems doing the actual duties of the job. It's a totally reasonable thing and it's wild but not surprising how people are just making shit up with their bad faith interpretations.

Ooh I was not aware of the three days part. You wouldn't happen to have a resource explaining the laws regarding that, would you? I don't mind looking myself if you don't have it on hand.

Is this some "Theif of time." Sort of thing? Because if it is that's dorky as hell man. Trying to start up some Andrew Ryan speech.

I'm sure it'll be a settlement. As nice as it would be I can't add " I get to laugh in his stupid face" to my demands

The part where I say I brought the law, I was referring to a binder I was holding with a copy of the EEOC guidelines on reasonable accommodations with highlights pointing out where it says it is actually quite illegal.

My lawyer really perked up when I mentioned that in the phone call I had the evening before I specifically said OSHA when saying I had concerns about nobody wearing safety glasses while running saws.

You're talking about undue hardship, which is reason for not providing a specific accommodation, not for denying accommodations at all, and not an excuse for firing someone for making the request. There has to be an interactive process and a good faith effort made

I used rev.com
You can pay a little more to have humans transcribe it otherwise you will have to double check it yourself (Like I see it put down "escort it" instead of "Escorted")

He then told me that someone reported that I had a "frustrated expression." And he has to make sure his employees feel safe.
An expression? I mean, I find the implication that being mentally ill means you're a threat very innapropriate.

So I got a call from the guy who owns the place I just started working at. Yesterday I made a request for accommodations as required by the ADA.
He was telling me that I should have told them I was disabled during my interview.

I'm not hoping for that.
How about this? I hope he gets the exact amount of whatever is needed to learn his lesson and follow employment law in the future.

I think believing natives in modern times are superstitious and live in genuine fear of spooky monsters is kinda racist.

I did not think this would be seen outside the small amount of people I usually interact with.
I don't think there's any way to address those doubts I'm comfortable with. Like some people have said that just this invites trouble.

I totally understand. But also if they somehow did find this account, know that was me, etc, they would have whipped it right out

This kind of stuff makes me so sad. Bricks need way more space than your little bucket and plants for them to hide in.

Read up on the EEOC guidelines on reasonable accommodations. Perhaps ask your doctor for a note confirming that your stroke significantly affects you. Make sure no one can say you didn't make a good faith effort on your part.
Keep records of EVERYTHING

Given how the scam is supposed to work, what if you said "well that idea is too good. I'll do it for free!"?

I'm reminded of some ubisoft presentation from years ago. They were taking questions from the audience and one guy said "Hi. I absolutely hate Splinter Cell. How are you going to appeal to me?"
I hope that dude got rabies or something.

When they say stuff like this it's either them bluffing while thinking you're bluffing or they only know enough to try to avoid following it.

I've got generalize anxiety and the tism. I had gone to the bathroom to calm down and self regulate. He said I was taking unauthorized breaks. I clarified what was up and requested that as an accommodation.

I've been saying this for years in constant DMs to @CamoTheKobold
Being a furry has taught me that anyone with this ugly ass color as their sona's/fursuit's main color is either horribly obnoxious, smells like they havent showered in years, or both.

I'd love to since the guy seems like a wannabe creative who would not have fun dealing with it. But I am seeing what my lawyer says beyond a simple intake call.

Imagine if there was a racing game where if you hit anything you either just clipped through it or just gently bounced off without a sound.
It shouldn't matter right? Why would you want to crash?

So a little update on that place that fired me for making an accommodation request back in March. They filed a position statement over a month late. It is filled with bizzare fabrications, like it says I attempted to blackmail them for 5000 dollars.

Got a call from a staffing company where he named the client company. I asked "Well why don't I just go to their website and apply directly?"
And hung up. He immediately started sending me angry texts.

I mean to me it sounds like they're mad I didn't give them a chance to discriminate against me while they had the most plausible deniability.
