I started a new job this week. The manager wanted to take me out to eat my first day. I said I couldn't go to a restaurant because I am sensitive to music and asked for a copy of the accommodation form to complete with my onboarding paperwork. She told me I didn't need to fill out a form and we could order in. Four days later I was terminated from my position.

I have never heard of going out to eat with a manager after being hired and then getting fired . If this manager was male he may of wanted more than, get to know you.

You should get a hold of the corporation , about this incident .

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, sorry to hear of the outcome of your employment. It's just another stigmatism a business has on people that will not allow an employee to look out for their health. Like it or not, me personally i hate when people asked me about my health. It depends on what they have heard about people with epilepsy. I had a business tell me that i was High-risk employee after telling them i had epilepsy. But, because of what they heard from another business who had an employee trying for a position, the first business didn't hire me. For the future, the least you tell a company about your epilepsy, the higher chance you have of getting hired. It sucks when you put on a face and tell companies about how honest you are, but businesses have to watch their bottom line.
Report This ASAP, That Wasn't Right At All
It' depends my opinion here amen

I’ve worked at a store for 20+ years and have had epilepsy since day 1. When I have a seizure they roll out an office chair, sit me down and roll me into a room. Whenever I’m back aware from my seizure I get up and go back to work. My parents drive me to work and come pick me up. There’s a limit on how much I can work from Social Security Disability though.
