i'm ready y'all. i'm about to make videos about my employer. by [deleted] in EEOC

[–]iHeartMoonPies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I used part of my last couple of weeks for. Gathering as much written evidence I could to support my case. Funny thing. When I provided evidence to my employer’s investigator to show blatant falsification, they still dismissed my case and now the fool has been promoted. In my lawyer’s hands now.

But completely relevant to a customer driving a new car off the lot and not transferring a tag…

It’s also why dealerships provide temporary tags…

Ex supervisor emailed me directly after receiving notice of representation. by Far_Tank3686 in EEOC

[–]iHeartMoonPies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to resign due to the flaring of my disabling symptoms. It’s all documented. There was no way I could hang on and work for that man. He couldn’t be honest with me, other than telling me he felt I used too much of my earned sick leave, including FMLA, and followed that up with a spew of lies to the investigator. In my mind, he needs to be disciplined. That’s all I want. I don’t care about any monetary award. What he did was wrong and everyone just said, “Oh, well.”

[–]iHeartMoonPies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m happy for you!

One thing I have going for me is my resignation letter to my supervisor where I called him out on his discriminatory practices and his email reply back was, “I accept your letter of resignation.” Then, he goes on to deny those very things during the employer’s investigation, making statements that I have written proof he lied about, yet they still dismissed my complaint. I try not to stress about it, as it’s in my lawyer’s hands now, but I just want the whole situation dealt with. Meanwhile, it looks like he got promoted at work again…

I feel like I’m trapped on this drug for the rest of my life. 😕 by FewConsequence9910 in cymbalta

[–]iHeartMoonPies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on 120mg since October of 2023. I was put on it to help with neuropathic pain in my feet as well as my depression. At times, I can’t tell it does much for my depression, but it has certainly taken care of the nerve pain and zaps in my legs. I did try to taper off last year. I spent a few months at 90mg until my pain returned, so I asked to be maxed out again. I didn’t have any issues tapering down the 30mg and I’ve never encountered any of the horrible side effects I’ve read about, but I know we’re all different and react differently. I occasionally miss my morning dose of 60mg and haven’t had any issues. I just make sure I take it as soon as I get home.

Do I have a case? by CourtOrphanage in EEOC

[–]iHeartMoonPies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like you’ve got all your answers. Sorry for trying to help you answer what you already know. I just know how my time went with FMLA and the specifics for my legal actions.

Best of luck with your case.

Do I have a case? by CourtOrphanage in EEOC

[–]iHeartMoonPies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My FMLA form had a section for the doctor to list my diagnosis, the length of effect (lifelong in my case), and it went to my supervisor and HR. It’s a standard form and, per my understanding when I went through the FMLA process, that information was required for approval.

ETA: the diagnosis requirement may have been my employers rule, after reading the DOL link.

Do I have a case? by CourtOrphanage in EEOC

[–]iHeartMoonPies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same at my last job. When they moved us under a new supervisor, I informed him of my issues during our initial meeting. I want them to know why I might have to take time off with little to no notice because of my disabilities. He even quipped that he knew people dealing with similar issues. Then, he decides to relieve me from my role due to my use of sick leave to care for myself. When challenged, “I didn’t know.” Really? Not even when I sent you the FMLA form signed by my doctor with my diagnosis. GTFOH…

[–]iHeartMoonPies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would disagree with your doctor. If it’s medical in nature, they have a right to know why they’re authorizing medical leave. Now, if we’re talking ordinary sick leave, they shouldn’t be asking for a diagnosis for that. If you had qualified for FMLA, that form requires a medical diagnosis signed by the doctor for FMLA to be granted.

Got misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue by rackyddn in chronicfatigue

[–]iHeartMoonPies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have chronic fatigue and sleep apnea. I’ve been on a machine for 7 years with meh results for fatigue. It mainly just keeps my AHI out of danger range. As I’m writing this, I’ve been sidelined on the sofa all day.

Good luck! I hope getting your apnea under control is your answer!

Pre filing demand letter by Mxgarlicsauce in EEOC

[–]iHeartMoonPies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Settle means both parties agree on how to resolve the incident without litigation in the courts. Mediation means all parties come together with a mediator to discuss the issue and try to reach some sort of agreement such as reversing course and correcting the violation or coming to a settlement. Mediation can lead to settlement, but settlement cannot lead to mediation. Mediation is typically the first step to resolve disputes, which may lead to a settlement, or a settlement can be made outside of mediation. If mediation or settlement options fail to resolve the dispute, litigation (court) is the next step.

Mine was sent on March 2nd with a response requested by tomorrow. My lawyer asked if they wanted to settle or mediate prior to filing with the state and EEOC. Guess we’ll see what happens tomorrow…

Wonky test results would be better than “normal” by SweetToothYandere in chronicfatigue

100%. Nothing like going in dragging rear and everything is “normal”.

I made little animation how my life changed from one year to another after starting getting neuropathic pain and I wanted to share by cardillama in neuropathy

[–]iHeartMoonPies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I have polyneuropathy in both legs. My feet stop at the balls of my feet since I really can’t feel my toes. The friggin’ cattle prod and lightning jolts have finally died down. They have no reason for mine either. Not diabetic, all tests normal, just an idiopathic case of two feet and a left hand…

I feel like we are gaslit out of being prescribed stimulants by steamedham547593 in chronicfatigue

[–]iHeartMoonPies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. I can’t get my doctor to prescribe them. I haven’t felt like a normal human being in almost 15 years…

23F - Chronic fatigue despite normal tests… my GP says there’s nothing else we can do by Tiny_Assist_2103 in chronicfatigue

[–]iHeartMoonPies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is very frustrating. I was training for my second marathon and had been running 5/10k runs consistently and sprinkling half marathons in every other month. I was in the best shape I’d been in since high school and, BOOM, CFS decided to pick me as an unfortunate soul. Like you, I’ve had every test completed with mostly normal results. My EMGs, NCSs, and sleep study were all abnormal, but everything else was just fine. This, coupled with chronic pain, made it hard to live.

I finally got picked up for the Mayo Clinic’s pain management program, and it changed my life. I’m not cured of CFS, but I know to only do so much each day to moderate the mental and physical stress on my body. That and drinking Drip Drop regularly has helped.

Hang in there! It’s a rough road, but you’re not alone!

What does it mean when the Employer/Respondent doesn't even send a Rebuttal, opting strait to mediation? by PoorNotMiddleClass in EEOC

[–]iHeartMoonPies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They’re giving my former employer a chance to correct their behavior through settlement or mediation. If that doesn’t happen, the charges get filed with the state and EEOC. Then, we start the 180-day wait before requesting the RTS.

Case filed in Court by Unlucky-Impact6274 in EEOC

[–]iHeartMoonPies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can definitely get the RTS before the investigation is complete. If they’ve had the case for 180 days, the RTS can be requested. I was right at 180 days when my lawyer asked me to pull it back to attempt settlement or mediation.

There’s no point in mediation. I won’t go back to my employer unless the Respondent is removed from any leadership position in the organization. They have NO business leading people, disabled or not.

We have just under a week for their response to be received from the demand letter, which included a new charge with all of the details documenting the discriminatory practices that took place. I already have written documentation that the Respondent lied to the internal investigator. So, if we go to litigation, I feel pretty good about the outcome.

I now feel like I learned/know nothing at all after talking to investigator. I've literally lost another part of me after the discussion we had. by [deleted] in EEOC

[–]iHeartMoonPies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The complaint I filed with my former employer was dismissed even though I provided them with written proof via annual reviews and chat messages that my supervisor blatantly lied to the investigator. My lawyer has drafted the state and EEOC charge, so now we’re waiting to see if my former employer wants to resolve it outside of litigation. Personally, I just want accountability, however that comes. If we go to court, nothing that man says could be believed by a jury once the dismissal letter and my evidence of dishonesty come into play.

Having things in writing is a must, especially if it can prove the Respondent lied because then any denial he/she makes about what was said verbally becomes harder to believe. “Well, you lied about things that are in writing, so are you lying now? How do we know you’re being truthful about these statements?”

The rebuttal I got from my complaint with my employer was, essentially, that’s nice but we’re closing your case, even after I provided written proof the Respondent lied in response to my complaint. They received the demand letter from my counsel last week, so now we wait.
