Good information, I've been on paid administrative leave for going on 15 months now. These employers are out to get us whistleblowers.

Hi I need help! I am disabled my employer is aware prior to me having a stroke a year ago employer provided a reasonable accomodation bc i have chronic back issues with mobility issues. I had a stroke was out for a year dr said can return to work with accomodation to work from home. Manager would not allow me to said i had to come in. I called employee relations and filed a complaint a d was told I would need to go in office. 3 days later a slipped and fell in restroom and paramedics transported me to trama center where i had closed head injury with post concussion syndrome and prior to i used a cane now I have to use a walker because as dr stated my prior medical injuries are exacerbated from the fall. I filed an EEOC complaint. While i was hospitalized i was now given a temp reasonable accomodation. What can i do

As an employee I wish we didn't have to submit the production of evidence to the other side - it gives them a chance to change their narrative and prepare not to get caught up in their lies.

[@jep23452]

Nah, we still catch them in lies all the time.

[@dart1800]

Not really, they are always looking for an off ramp.

I filed a complaint with the EEOC and submitted 140 pieces of evidence. I caught the former employer’s attorney lying over and over in her position statement. I filed a strong rebuttal. I don’t know where to go from here Please help!

[@jep23452]

The EEOC is a waste of time. The EEOC has no real power. If you have a real case of discrimination with clear evidence, then you should be able to find a lawyer. In real cases, you almost never get what the case is worth unless your lawyer is willing to file a lawsuit and do the work.
