a couple of days ago steve (my boss) came into my office and asked me to not talk about dr. phil or my disability anymore. he was afraid it would come back on him due to privacy laws regarding medical conditions. i asked him if i were in a wheelchair, where everyone could see my disability, would we still be having that conversation. he said well no... so i just stared at him. i have also heard a rumor that it was said amongst management that if i'm comfortable enough to go on the dr. phil show, then i don't need my office as an accommodation of my illness. !!!! that's completely ignorant. i was not trying to work when i was on stage with dr. phil. and i did not look at the audience. it was maybe 15-20 minutes tops. i really don't see where one has to do with the other. yes, i'm more comfortable about coming out that i have schizophrenia. but that doesn't mean that my limitations and special needs are suddenly gone. it doesn't make the symptoms of schiz. disappear! I'm just angry. I called my union rep and asked him about the letter that steve keeps promising to write designating my office as an accommodation. he told me to put it in writing that i am still waiting for the letter, wait 10 days, then if i still don't have it, email him again and this time cc my director and the union. i don't think i can wait 10 days. i've been asking this of him for months.
