2) Writting you up for not wiping down your desk? Are you serious?
3) HR telling you that since you have been written up before, you can't contest any other times after that when you are written up? I call BS...Something in the milk isn't clean...What about writting up the supervisor that called you disgusting? Even if they have no reasonable grounds to write you up, yet they do (write you up), you're telling me that you can't contest it, you just have to sit there and take it..HA!...Again, you're better than me...
If I were you, I would take this very seriously and I'm not trying to scare you by saying that...Going forward, I would make sure I cross all my T's and dot all my I's...I would document EVERYTHING...Any incident, I would write down the date, time, who you spoke to and what happened...If HR will not help you, then I would consult with a lawyer...These people will try to fire you at the drop of the dime...If they do try to fire you, you need your own documentation to back yourself up should you need it to prove that you were wrongfully fired...
You are better than me...I will tell you that...I'm over here mad enough for you that you were called disgusting...That is uncalled for...I won't even say the way that I would have responded...But that supervisor would no longer be employed if they said it to me...Be smart...Cover yourself..Document document document...And I would consult with a lawyer and explain to them what is going on because it doesn't sound right that your employer is doing you like this knowing your mental illness..And I can't accept that any HR department would tell you what they told you...Good luck...
I've seen things like this at my job...A manager or supervisor wants an employee gone, for whatever reason..They don't like them or whatever the reason is...So they pick on them...Nit pick everything until the time is right to fire the person...And I gotta give it to some employees, they don't take it...Couple of people have cases against the company..Good cases...For being unjustly fired...I've seen this happen time and time again...And they are trying to do it to you...Again, good luck...

Thank you. I have felt this for years.
I'm not better than you. I'm easily intimidated. I get confused and afraid of people very easily. I freeze up and I don't know how to defend myself.
I didn't even know I could dispute a write up until my husband told me I could. I thought you were powerless...
I need to figure this out. My whole life is on edge now. New baby, job in danger, sudden and more upcoming financial troubles, no suitable car (thanks to mine being stolen) or a way to get one... The only think I'm good at is forcing myself not to lay on the floor and give up but at the same time I dont' know how to fight this stuff, either.
