[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 669509, member: 18958"] What your boss is doing sounds almost illegal. CB, have you applied for Social Security Disability or SSI. My son has similar symptoms and he got it the first time. I believe the children under 18 might qualify too based upon their own disabilities and as your dependents. You are protected under the law if you cannot do your job due to symptoms of a mental illness. If your job makes you sicker you might qualify for workers compensation. You could probably get more than you make. Do not walk out. You have important protections under the law. What your supervisors are doing is called harassment. As others say, document everything. If you feel you cannot to it any more, tell them you are ill and need to go to the doctor. Ask the doctor for a work note for time off, and tell your workplace you need to file a workers compensation claim. They cannot deny you this, at least in my own state they cannot. They cannot fire you for filing a claim and they cannot discriminate. They have to adjust your workload so that you can handle it. If you got SSI you would be able to work, too, if you were able. In my State you can earn about seventeen hundred dollars without it counting against your SSI check. They are cruel because they think they can get away with it. They think because you need the job and may be afraid, they can do whatever they want. They can only so so if you let them. I hate them for doing this. But you must find it in yourself to protect yourself and your children, by being proactive. I know what it is to be overwhelmed. When I was in college I worked as a waitress. I was assigned an upstairs dining room. I had to carry big round trays with dinner for 6 or 8 people on my shoulder up the stairs. It was so busy one night. I must have had 15 large tables. I was beside myself. I walked right out the door. With the checks for all of those tables in my apron pocket. Right out. And got into my car and drove away. Without those checks with the ordered food, nobody knew what to charge the people. And the drinks. How did they determine how many drinks each table had? I did go back to work but I was too embarrassed to ask how they handled the mess I left. That was about 45 years ago. I will never forget it. You have options. Try to not be afraid. That man is a very bad man. He will be in trouble soon. Sooner or later. Look up Workers Compensation and SSI. See if you want to consider these as possible options. Other people will chime in too. COPA PS It sounds like your boss is running scared and is ganging up with the boss against you, to save her own behind. What a whuss. She will get in trouble too, I hope [/QUOTE]
