I am not paranoid and I hope someone can help me. I am a professor. I am diagnosed with bipolar illness and am being treated for it. Unfortunately, last fall I had to take a medical leave after experiencing symptoms that made it impossible for me to continue to teach. I formally requested modest accommodations last spring upon my return, which were denied. In order to get my job back, my employer made me sign a document stating that I was deficient in my duties and that I was now on probation. I expect I will be terminated in January for a variety of unsubstantiated reasons I won't go into here. My question is: are there things I can be doing now that will give me a foundation on which to challenge a dismissal like this? Should I again ask for accommodations? Should I protest in writing the actions that are singling me out as a "problematic employee"? If anyone has any good ideas, I would love to hear them. I would also like to correspond privately or publicly on this--especially with someone who has dealt with this kind of situation or any group I could connect with! Thanks!
