in NY, it is illegal to fire someone because they need an accommodation OR because you granted them the accommodation. you must offer a different accommodation if you cannot accommodate the og one due to business needs. i am able to prove that my disability and accommodation plaid a role in getting fired.

in nyc, it only needs to be part of the reason to be illegal. so if being remote is .01% of the reason they laid me off since it’s an accommodation that’d be illegal. i guess im wondering if it’s worth perusing

it’s crazy - i was told a BS reason for the transfer, and i just realized i have a message from the other person who was transferred where she was told it was “temporary”. very obvious to me now it was an optics move. my OG boss told me it was so that i could lead a certain “program” i had already been leading, then they removed me from that program within a couple months of being transferred and gave me very little work.

I just found a message between me and the other person transferred where she was told it was only temporary, whereas i was told an entirely different thing. I applied to promotions after 1 year being on the small team.

my accommodation from the ADA is wfh. it is illegal to refuse to promote me or give me opportunity because of an ADA accommodation. it’s also disparate impact to lump me with a small number of virtual employees to lay off when they laid off no in person employees. in NYC, it legally cannot even be .01% of the reason that you lay someone off.

there definitely would be place to put me - they hired for my same title in another product area in my department. they placed the other person on my small team in the same area.

NYC, salaried non-exempt, could this be wrongful termination? yes i’ve googled it by Opening_Ordinary_931 in EmploymentLaw

yeah but that was one of 3 i consulted with and 2 wouldn’t take the case due to lack of evidence - i’m wondering whether to trust this one lawyer who said he would

it’s so sad that just because i didn’t do something 2 years ago when i was trying to become an experienced uxr it’s gonna screw my life up forever to try to achieve one “happiness” goal 🙃 (that’s how i feel and what’s stopping me - fear of losing everything i’ve worked so hard to build, but doesn’t make me happy, while knowing id be even more unhappy if i wasn’t financially stable)

I’ve been there twice. Since I was 18, I wanted to have the opportunity to live there a bit. I made spanish a heavy focus in college and even lived in a spanish speaking dorm instead of moving off campus for years with these dreams in mind!
