I walk with a cane for now and people have complained to corporate about this.
I have been put on indefinite leave for this. I am out of a job.
the ADA addresses such instances. You are on paid leave or this is illegal.
Well, I have been on the phone for two hours to find out my options.
Yes, since I have been a full time employee for four years, there are benefits beyonnd just being fired. I have talked to three third party company support systems this afternoon to find that they can not do this without my doctors's say, but it will be on hold until I can get my doctor to "sign off" on exactly how unproductive I am.
Honestly, I thought I was doing OK. My boss told me that they need my brain, not my brauin, but with many other things happening, along with seven people complaining to corporate about having a guy with a a cane helping them load out their TVs blha blah, I am now a corporate concern.
My boss's hand was forced. I am just simply fucked, for now
... until I get better and can lose the acane and stop embarraassing the people who have to see me using a cane.
