I told my senior manager that I thought I had ADD and I wanted to get treatment for it. My performance wasn't the best, but I was improving. I was thinking my manager hated me and wanted me out. Anyway, that was 2 months ago.

I went through two doctors since to get a diagnosis and followed up with HR during the time. I was then asked to be in a remote meeting last Monday and put on leave ever since, saying that the status of my employment was dependant on me going to the doctor for my condition and seeing if I needed special/extra accomodation. Whatever the doctor wrote on the ADAA form, wasn't good for them. I also think the doctor misunderstood some of the questions. He didn't even complete the form entirely wither

But anyway, I was diagnosed with mild ADHD and given prescription treatment. I forwarded the form to HR and told them that I was given treatment via prescription.

Next thing I know, I was in a follow up meeting with managers and a consultant, and the consultant said that the ADAA form said I couldn't perform my job and that they didn't have special accomodations. And for some fucking reason, HR never told them I was being prescribed medication for treatment.

I was so shocked and tried to explain myself and just agreed with the outcome.

I ended up writing an angry letter saying I didn't respect the decision due to a nasty decision and that I haven't made any repeated failure of test performances in the last 2 months.

tl;Dr if your immediate manager hates you and you don't speak up about it (which I never did), you're likely gonna get fired. Once those PIPs come in, just start looking for a new job. And I asked treatment for my potential ADHD which I said could improve my performance (which was improving), but I wasn't given that chance. Something they agreed on. I feel like this shit is illegal, but I want to move on.

Telling them in the 1st place was your mistake, they where asses and used it against you.

Can you claim for unfair dismissal?

Not my manager, but my senior manager. She seemed understanding at the time. She told me I could look at resources paid by the company and then she forwarded it to HR for a friendly chit chat--which she then told HR about.

HR lady was the one that asked me to follow up with a doctor and fill an ADAA form and asked if I needed accomodations. my main doc couldn't even diagnose me so I had to go to a psychiatrist for it

I didn't sign it yet. Don't think I want any financial compensation. I am getting some severance pay.
Just want them to know I could do the job and follow up with my psychiatrist clearing that up. And just move on with my life.

thanks

Surely firing you for simply for having a medical condition isn't legal...?

Unless they're going the "it was a pre-existing medical condition that you didn't disclose before hiring" route.

no, I said it was undiagnosed and I thought I had it and that I am going to try and get treatment for it. I thought they would be understanding, which I do think they were at the time.

Corporate world is cut throat though.

Just a live and learn situation, don't be honest with your future employers, don't volunteer or disclose any information that isn't necessary for the job and application process. Regardless if it's fair or not, there are many, many shitty employers out there that will brush you away and screw you at their first opportunity if that opportunity is given.

It was a job in biotech.

Anyway, what they did was messed up and I think I could have sued them. But I didn't. I talked to the doctor and told him about the form he filled out and got a doctor's note and gave it to HR. I said it was a Wrongful termination and that I want the agreement to say that I left the company in writing over being terminated, which they altered and gave back to sign to me.

Despite me not making any repeatable mistakes for 2 months, corporate or my manager or whoever wanted me gone.

How long have toy worked there and did Did they give you a performance improvement plan or something similar?If management noted something in writing to HR, then I would consider looking elsewhere, notably if your manager didn't like you. There's a lot of signs about getting fired soon. I didn't want to believe it and wanted to work as long as I could, but I just wished I started looking at least a month ago.

Damn, that sucks. I honestly find it annoying when a manager unnecessarily starts a beef with you to the point they abuse their power to throw you out.

Something similar was about to happen with my older brother but what he did was that he resigned himself and complained a whole lot about the manager when asked for a reason. Thankfully, the manager also lost his position when the company realised that they were struggling to do much without my brothers technical skills

Have you been fired or it didn't work? When I know how rare are the workers, you got your chances somewhere else. Nobody's perfect, there is disease of all kind everywhere.

Just being a Worker that want to work prove you got what it take to find another job. Keep it up.
