quote=skymonk;896850]Sorry to hear about your employment troubles, especially now with our economy so bad. I don't know about the laws myself-so I'm going to be looking them up! I had a situation where I was being verbally&emotionally abused by my boss&when I requested termination after I'd found another job she point blank told me she never would have hired me if she'd known I was bipolar. Wish I could have tape recorded that to play in a court room. Unfortunately it seems like there are so many loopholes in employment laws here that YOU have to prove THEY discriminated when they're usually very crafty&have better lawyers because they can afford them than you can. They can make up whatever excuse they want for why they fired you&YOU have to prove THEY lied. Hard to do. Have you thought of looking up an ombudsman? They're community leaders that stand up for those who need help-mostly for the elderly, but they may for your situation too. If you can, I'd tape record any conversations you have with your bosses' whether they know it or not&definitely try to create a paper trail of all of both of your actions. Hope this helps&believe me I know how hurtful this is. It's ridiculous how big of a stigma there is on mental illness in this day&age in the States. Best of luck&definitely check with a lawyer.
