Hey all,
Monday I had an interview with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to see if I had grounds to file a complaint about being fired from my last job. I had a blow up in front of a doctor. I was stressed to the MAX dealing with a Patient that should have been In restraints, but the hospital wouldn't do it. You can't discharge a patient if they are in restraints. They have to be out of them for 24hrs before discharge.... This girl was TERRIBLE!!!! Anyways, the EEOC investigator took my statement and said with one problem I would have a great case!!! Did you know that you are required to notify your employer in WRITING of your disability and what your reasonable accommodations are? The letter must be from a doctor (MD, DO or a Therapist) and must be given AFTER you are formally offered the job. That was my one problem. I told my manager and his boss about my issues, but verbally. There is no paper trail. The investigator was so nice and cool about the whole thing. She said to go ahead and file a complaint. She said there is a good chance it will spur the company into doing something.... Giving me a different job, giving me unemployment or something.... Anyways, she said there really is no downside to filing a complaint. It can't hurt so I'm going to do it. In the mean time, I'm looking for work as a RN still, but also as a mechanic and a forklift operator (stuff I did in the Marines). Sigh

Oh, she also said it was BS that I wasn't given my formal letter of a job offer until 90 days AFTER I had been on the job!!!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
