But a month or 3 down the road you get written up for being 5 mins late ... punch back in 2 mins late from lunch another write up. Maybe you make a minor mistake ? Normally it might just be pointed out , but disclosed ?? it could be your 3rd strike.

Ok yes the ADA , sureeeer it’s supposed to protect people like us , right?

Honestly they are not going to worry about the lil guy just working a part time job.

My advice ? Keep it under your hat.. go in , do your job , smile and collect your paycheck

^^^ Exactly my husband's experience. He had disclosed to his supervisor about having an anxiety disorder. He disclosed because they wanted to hire him as a supervisor, but the anxiety was too much. He was in a constant state of heightened anxiety because of being written up practically every week. He has OCD that's pretty severe, so it takes him longer than others to do tasks because he gets "stuck" with the OCD and extreme anxiety.

They couldn't fire him under Calif state law, but they sure rode his a$s. After 17 years of being underemployed and harassed by management, he resigned.
