I was hired on 11/11/11 and had me as a part timer working full time hours. Well it started off by them knowing I suffer from bipolar disorder-ADHD and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder I was always there when scheduled, totally gave up my life with my children, but did so as I have been unemployed for over 2.5years due to my illness. Well they mainly had me working until midnight 6 days a week, knowing I had children at him who I needed to get ready for school daily. Also, working till midnight, then getting home and taking my meds, I wasn't able to fall asleep until 2 or 3am and up by 6am to prepare my kids for school, then volunteering at both my kids schools daily so I was getting no rest, so I spoke with the night manager Karen that if it would be possible for me to take my meds 2 hours prior to leaving so I would get the effects by the time I got home and she was fine with it, so this is what I did. I had a bad day Sunday, 12/4/11 and still went into work anyhow. Well, when I got there, I was in the bookkeeper room getting my till to start my shift, when security came in and escorted me out of the room stating I was intoxicated and was sent home and suspended. I tried to explain to them that I do not drink due to my illness and they said, "there is the door, use it" long story short, they fired me. I went today to try and explain to them what had transpired and they basically, thru me out. To think this is a supposed family run organization and equal opportunity... where do you see that in this situation. I am truly distraught as I am a single mother with no assistance and killed me to even take this job, and to be fired due to my illness... its just unfair and say God is up there.. He doesn't like ugly!!!!
