Jojo that is so wrong people are ignorant. Sending both of you guys hugs. I have had ruff times as well. My old manager many years ago decided to bring it up in a staff meeting I was only 21 at the time. I felt so embarrassed and small. The questions other staff were coming out made me feel even more smaller.

People are so ignorant. I know I've been passed up on so many job opportunities or let go because i was a "liability".

Heel yeah, excuse the expletive; but hell yeah--I have had a job and neglected to tell them right away because I really needed the job. When a disability topic came up in conversation, I jumped in and thought this might be a good time to introduce Mr. Epilepsy. I was "let go" the next day...so yeah, I get it...

Management teams in CA tend to be short-sighted and very competitive. My brain surgery has impacted my memory. Management feels everyone should remember what they say; it's not management's responsibility to write down business policies/procedures. To effectively deal with these issues, my doctor has written a letter to my employer addressing my disability and encumbrances per the ADA laws. I'm not always happy to take these actions but have found this is a fair, equitable method to follow when team leadership is uncompromising.
Wishing you the best

Sorry to hear that.
