I hope this is the correct forum to ask this question. I figured it was the most fitting. On June 4th, I went into work (which I had been working full time previously as a Pharmacy Tech). After an hour, my boss pulls me in the office and tells me he is cutting me down to one day a week because my family issues were making people feel "uncomfortable." I proceeded to tell him that I couldn't afford to work 1 day a week. He said "Well, you can take it or leave it." So I chose to leave it. The commute is far and the gas to savings ratio would be even more minuscule. Plus, from my previous experience of working in restaurants, cutting a person down to 1 day a week is hoping they will quit. I suffer from Major Depression Disorder and Anxiety, which they know. I also have a bad drinking problem(two people knew); however, none of this has impacted my work. There was 1 day in which I was visibly upset at work because I had found out that my Grandfather(with dementia) had made sexual advances on his caregiver. I take care of my grandfather when I am not at work, so I was concerned about the caregiver quitting and what I was going to do. I still performed all my job duties, I simply just didn't socialize with other employees. I still gave great customer service and completed all the tasks needed. I have never been disciplined. There is nothing with my signature on it stating I misbehaved or didn't perform my job duties(In fact, I was probably the hardest working employee there. All others were more concerned with text messaging and words with friends). Also a week before this happened, My psychiatrist prescribed me Naltrexone, which is a drug to help combat alcoholism. At first, I just wanted to collect unemployment while looking for another job (which I have a promising one on deck), but now I am kinda pissed at the dispute. Do I have any legal ground to take them to court? Aren't they violating workers with disabilities act? Isn't it suspicious that they cut me down to one day a week after being prescribed an anti-alcoholism drug? Do I have a possible case or should I just fight the appeal and take the unemployment?

They pretty much said "Your anxiety is making other people feel uncomfortable" e: This all comes after two months ago when I completely restructured their network, installed a new point of sale system, and security system at my regular hourly rate(saved them upwards of $5000) and received a raise.

Elephanthead posted:Well since you don't have a job and don't plan on finding one, appeal the unemployment and file a complaint with the EEOC and your state agency about being fired for whatever protected reason you claim. More important seek treatment as your condition obviously is effecting your work or you wouldn't have been fake fired. I actually have two interviews this week. But thanks for trying to stereotype me. I am in treatment. Have been for most of my life. When medicated, my "symptoms" are mild at most. Only the most extreme circumstances make them appear(i.e. the reason I gave previously). RogueLemming posted:Maybe this is true...but it's funny how pretty much every employee who is let go or asked to leave is always so sure they were the only thing holding the place together. Also, this makes you seem like you had an arrogant attitude towards your co-workers. Other than my anxiety issues, they most likely cut my hours because the Tech I replaced came back and wanted full time hours. And yes, I would say I am a pretty drat good employee. The owner of the front store(a separate entity of the pharmacy) has already offered me a management position at a store he is opening in a few months if I don't find anything in the mean time.

Dodgy Graphite posted:They pretty much said something inconsistent with the first thing you claim they said. Can you stop giving us your interpretation of how things went and just say objectively how things went? As in, the double quotes should go around the entire portion of the boss's speech, not just the word that gives you the most latitude in presenting the sentence. It is pretty simple actually. Everyone at the place of business knew of my anxiety disorder. I have been treated and medicated properly for it. However, in extreme circumstances, I may exhibit symptoms. One Day I exhibited symptoms. Which, even with the symptoms, I was able to complete the tasks required. The only "bad" thing I did was not socialize with employees. When I tend to have panic attacks and/or high levels of anxiety, I tend to keep to myself and become anti-social with people who I am accustomed to socializing with. I guess it is hard to explain unless you, yourself also suffer from the same disorder.
