PTK, I just get disgusted when I hear employers doing such things. My dad was physically disabled from the time he was 14 and he went on to be a lawyer.
It's a topic that hits close to home. Work knows about my diagnosis and there is another person that was diagnosed prior to me. This person has just come back from leave and they are trying to push him out. I know they will have a fight on their hands, but we shouldn't have to go through that. If someone was on leave because he or she had cancer a big party would be thrown for them. Come back from being on leave for a mental illness and most people can't look you in the eye.
