omg, i felt like i was the only one~! i worked for a non-profit which is mandated to hire people with disabilities~! but some disabilities are more equal than others. we got a new boss who started in on me, for no reason that i could see. other people quit , so i suspect she was abusing them, too. unfortunately for me, they have skills and live in another county with a much larger employment field. i finally quit when the boss threatened to fire me, in an open staff meeting,, for using my sick leave~!! no one said a word in my support. that was over a month ago, and i'm finally just feeling the wounding loss, the rending grief,, (this was my first job in 17 yrs, since i became "disabled"). i don't have the strength to fight anymore,,, i am having a hard time going back for food stamps,, i feel like such a fool to have tried so hard to re-enter the 'world of work'... my voc rehab counselor said i was "Unemployable",, i should have listened,,, even tho he was WRONG,, he was just telling me how i was being perceived,,, ooh,, where is there some comfort ?
