Due to my chronic AS my primary doctor wrote a letter 3 months ago emphasizing my need to be able to take my two 15 minute and one 30 minute breaks during my 12 hour shift. 2 hours later, once home, I was called and asked by my director if I'd be open to trying a different position and after training we'd review and see how that is working.

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. That a girl! GET EM!! I am so proud of and happy and inspired by you that I have goosebumps even though I don't work and have no intention of doing so anytime soon.( I know how fortunate I am and I thank him every time he walks by me, my providing man beyond my dreams. ) I hate that they're railroading you, and really warmed by the others who have given such awesome advice and support. B cubed gave some huge intelligent direction.
Kudos to you @A MySpondylitisTeam Member!! (B3) I want you on my legal team too!😄🥰

If your company has more than a certain number of employees (it differs by state) they are required to abide by rules for FMLA, additionally your illness is covered as a disability and they are discriminating against you.

Please thoroughly read your employer manual as well. Often managers don’t even realize they violating the company’s own policies. I wish you the best of luck.
To you Denetrice, I agree. Lying down but will respond more as it unfolds. I have the appointment with Employee Health on Friday at 10 AM EST.
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member you could get with the disabilities of America about being discriminated and them not accommodating you.
I really appreciate that, Lisa. I'm open and searching for what I need and it's so easy to say "it", here. Everyone just "gets it". 🙂
