I'm baffled
Okay, I'm going to keep this brief. There is a story, but it does not need to be told. I believe I just got fired from a temp job today after the first day because of my disability. The reason? I hadn't told them about it.
1.) I told the temp agency I had a disability when I filled out their forms.
2.) I made it clear I couldn't stand for long periods of time without pain to the manager I worked under several days before I started.
I am baffled. I don't know how or why this happened. I will have to go to the temp agency tomorrow to figure out what if anything they will do. I have a feeling that even though this is a university it's one of the things they think they can get away with by saying "she couldn't do the essential functions of the job." There is *no* reason standing is an essential function of a cashier's job.
