[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 84025, member: 1550"] I have Executive Function issues and horrible Learning Disability (LD)'s and have been fired so often that I can smell when it's coming. When I contacted a lawyer I was told that in an "at will" state they can fire you simply because they don't like your smug expression. They don't even need to tell you why you were fired, although I was always told. Now that I have a DOCUMENTED disability, and a job, it would be touchy for the company to fire me without doing all it could be help me (they are a government employer), and I could file a complaint. I still may lose. In the US, there are no protections for any employee who isn't in a Union, and most companies have cut out Unions and will fire you for trying to start one. It's sort of just "tough luck to you." I hate how we have no protection here, but we don't. I'm so sorry you lost your job, and hope you can find a more accommodating one. I'd definitely be upfront with the next employer. If it's spoken before you're on the payroll, in my opinion, it helps. I used to fall into deep depressions and even despair each time I got fired. Don't do that. It doesn't help. [/QUOTE]
