Subject: [epilepsy] HELP!! anyone with ideas
Well looks like I'm going back to step 1 again. I seem to find a job then when they call me in for performance issues its always "you're to slow or I noticed you having problems, seizure activity" I was diagnosed at 15 but when I was a 11/2 had a high fever resulting in convulsions, encephalitis, and paralyzed on my right side. Never got full use of my right side but able to use it.
At TJMaxx I scan all items on markdown and they are now telling me I'm not fast enough. I hear this so often it's making me sick, and if it's not that they say I saw you spacing out from a seizure incident. I told the woman who hired me I had a slow right hand and she said she noticed it. I also mentioned I took meds but didn't say for what. Why let them know if they didn't ask.
I know they will end up letting me go and my husband John said to mention the disability laws but I have a hard time defending myself, because of growing up with the epilepsy and not getting the support from the family. How should I approach the supervisor and mention these laws?
I guess I don't want to get anyone mad and then stay in a job where there will be friction. But I do want to have the same rights as everyone else with no issues.
Thanks,
Carolyn
