Hi
@Notsowild, so glad you are back, reaching out for support. I remember how awful it was with your employer. I'm amazed you have endured them for this long.
My Human Rights case against them comes up in April. At our last meeting they wanted me to resign. Against all the HR rules.
Document this, in as much detail as you can. Even just in your own notes. I don't know the rules and regulations in your country, but most Human Rights regulations come with protections against retaliation written right into the same regulations, because it happens a lot. Corrupt people who make mistakes and don't tend responsibility for them and end up having human rights cases against them are often the same kind of people that will do stupid and ridiculous things to get rid of anyone they see as even a possible whistle blower. It won't help you much to endure right now the hell of what sounds like a hostile working environment... but maybe it would help your case all the more in April.
I filed a administrative civil rights case against a screwed up organization myself. They made my life as an employee a living hell after I filed, and they too tried to get me to resign. Usually people are offered the option to resign before they get fired. Somehow, they didn't fire me, but it was incredibly painful to endure that season.
In the end, I did end up leaving, but not because they pressured me to leave anymore. Even after they were fined and they changed how they did things, they remained an unhealthy organization. It took an on-going toll on my mental health to stay. The challenges I faced by leaving were really tough, but it was worth it to get out of there. I didn't realize even how much I had gotten used to the dysfunction there until I finally got out and was working for a better organization. It was still a scary thing to do, as there were so many unknowns when I left that job.
As for the hell they gave me when I stayed, I documented (and tape recorded when it was legal to do so) everything that happened, and when they came time to defend themselves for the original problem, the original case against them, they got in just as much trouble for all the crap they gave me.
You deserve to work in a place where people want you and value you for being the person of good character that you are. You have PTSD for not fault of your own, and you had the courage to ask for the accommodations you needed to do your job well. You didn't just stuff it and short change your employer from the best job you could do for them, you asked for what you needed so that you could be the best employee that you could be. So many people would never do that. They would find some way to just skate by or hide their weaknesses. Instead, you owned what wasn't your strength and asked for what you needed to do an even better job than you were doing. You have a lot to be proud of, and I think you would probably be a great asset for a healthy company.
Corrupt people generally want to get rid of the good and honest people in an organization. It's the kind of situation where like attracts like. If you were just as screwed up as them, they would probably want you to stay. It hurts to have people express that they don't want you to stay, but instead of taking it as a sign of something that is wrong with you, take it as a badge of honor. Because in the end, this kind of stuff really says a lot about them, and very little about you other than verifying that no, you are not like them at all. And it's a good thing.
It would really stink if you do end up resigning or losing your job, but maybe it's a door to a better place to work. I hope it is.
