I knew this would happen, I guess, I just was hoping they were sincere in wanting to work with me.

They scheduled a meeting with my subordinate and didn't invite me, to discuss a major sponsor. A sponsor that I have been working on all year long. It as a strategy meeting. I saw it on the calendar and emailed them and, as politely as I could said "I see there is a meeting to discuss strategy for this sponsor. I feel I should be in that meeting since I've been working on it all year, it's in my portfolio, I've been the one developing the strategy up until this point, and it's a major sponsor and that falls under my campaign."

I copied HR and the CEO on the email (and blind copied myself). Have heard nothing from them yet. Also have heard nothing from my email to HR last night.

So now I'm panicking because I'm being pushed out, and I knew this would happen. I don't know how to handle it, really. I knew it would happen but I guess I just wasn't prepared for the panic attacks and flashbacks and emotions of being treated this way.

I know I need to work on finding a way out, while continuing to pursue this claim.

I would take PTO (sick leave) but I know if I do that, A: they'll be emailing me all the time about questions anyways, and B: they'll just use that as a way to further push me out.

So I'm just having a really bad day.

I'd show up at that meeting anyway, and act like there's nothing wrong.

I had a similar experience, unbelievably in a volunteer job, and the stress did permanent damage to my digestive system.

I second what TishaBuv said. Screw them. Show up at the meeting prepared to defend your presence there. Those people are indeed trying to sabotage you and push you out now that you've held some undesirables accountable for their unethical behavior.

If you are being pushed out, better to go out fighting for something, than let them trample all over you.

Two words: "Workers' Compensation". I'd consider contacting the insurer before they push you out since it seems the company is causing much of your trauma.

Maybe file a workers comp claim before that option no longer exists....???....
Thanks for this!

I'm sorry your job has just gotten worse and worse this year I hope you can get out of there on your own terms. Maybe you can negotiate a severance package to get out of there ASAP?

Im.dealing with it. Trying to remember I'm playing the long game here. I gently correct whomever accuses me of wrongdoing by filling them in on the whole story, and saying, let me give you the full story here...but otherwise...play the game.

Well, things have gotten somewhat better. In meeting with my boss, I have bigger fish to fry than this one sponsor. So I'm okay with my subordinate handling it. Plus she updated me on the whole thing, so I'm not out of the loop.

It's all good because I'm being asked to work on even higher priority stuff. It's honestly just all the change and uncertainty that really stresses me out.

But it's been okay so far. I still have to deal with closing out my reasonable accommodation request, but I think we're close to resolution. And the good news is taht I barely deal with our CEO anymore because my new boss does all the meetings with him...so that has really helped.

I have seen this a zillion times. Even me. ADA is the worst thing ever because it encourages people to expect to be treated well and then corporations do everything they can to get rid of people who have disabilities. I don't think this is over. Be careful. I have seen corporations set people up. Push them hard and then when they get angry fire them for inappropriate conduct. Start characterizing them as "bullies" after suggesting to them aren't being aggressive enough.

A couple of years ago I hurt my feet in some odd way. It wasn't your run of the mill thing... it was pain in the middle of my feet. I got a note from my doctor that said I had hurt my feet and I needed to be allowed to put the least amount of effort on my feet.

I still was walking around all I was asking is that I not do unnecessary walking and I get to wear sneakers or sneaker type shoes.

For that.. my HR department CALLED my doctor and had a conversation with him. Without my permission and without my knowledge. I was furious. I also needed to meet with HR, and develop a "plan". Later I found them getting people to help me, without my knowledge, which IMHO was them getting people to get trained so they could fire me.

Even the slightest accommodation was something they were not going to do.
