This is not the response I was looking for....

[sinisterporpoise]

I e-mailed my manager asking her what I could do about my current situation. This is the response I received:


It is up to you about what you can do. I can keep you at just 1 day a week if that is enough for you. You can voluntarily resign so that way you are eligible for rehire. It is entirely up to you. But at 1 day a week we need for you to be here for the whole shift.

Let me know what ever you want to do.

Thank you,

This does not make me feel any better.

Update

Counter response offered. Her ideas don't quite work for me. Either quit and get *no* income, or make the hours I've been getting since December *permanent.* I've never made above poverty level wages, but $50/week is not enough.

So frustrating.

I hope you find something better soon.

I received the reasonable accomodation request form today. The request has to go through Human resources, and I don't have faith in the company's HR department, but at least this creates a paper trail.

I hope they do the right thing, especially considering it's not exactly hard to be sure you have a stool to sit on. I mean, it's not like you're asking for them to print all their material in Braille (which is also easy: there are machines with software that transcribes text files to braille and then prints them out on card stock).

It's better than her original response. It shows a glimmer of hope.
