I was recently told by HR that I was accused of making threatening statements to a fellow co-worker. I don't have any names and I don't know what I was claimed to have said, and I'm not asking because, at least with the peoples' names, is not ethical. I've sworn to my managers that this never happened, because while I do suffer from occasional bipolar rage, I can feel it coming on and I get myself away from the situation; going outside is my go-to. I've never threatened anyone anywhere or anytime, so this came as a complete shock to me. I was told that it would be a good idea to ask my team and other nearby coworkers if they ever felt threatened by me and most just laughed, thinking it was as much nonsense as I did.

So my understanding of the ADA, which seems to be reaffirmed by the EEOC, is that even if they think that I might have said something, they are required to make "accommodations" for me which would reduce the threat level; this is mentioned several times in the ADA and the EEOC documentation (I printed these out and highlighted the sections). My psychiatrist is writing a letter stating that I've never demonstrated any form of violence in the past; I asked for this because my employer has to have an objective analysis of any threat level I may have, they can't just assume I'm a threat because of my illnesses.

Sorry for the long story, but I was wanting to know if anyone else has had a similar situation. My employer (over 1,000 employees) has a strict zero-tolerance policy for pretty much everything. I've read that they cannot use this policy due to my being protected by the ADA and EEOC. Also, this incident was reported two weeks ago and HR has never contacted anyone around me or me, which I was told they would do two weeks ago. It honestly feels like some sort of harassment or discrimination or something, they're holding this over my head and it has me stressed to the breaking point.

Has anyone else had to deal with something like this? Do I have any legal recourse if they do decide not to terminate me? I just need some help, somebody to talk to.

Thanks for reading.
