Two years ago I was diagnosed with a night vision impairment which made it impossible to continue my Ramp work with DELTA AIRLINES. I worked in a position where I was required to drive one day work on a computer the next-- my shift: 3:15pm -- 11:45pm, wouldn't the OBVIOUS option for "REASONABLE ACCOMODATION" *which is required by the law* be to allow me to do the driving part while it's daylight and the computer parts at night? (We rotated days so the same tasks were done everyday)-- but NO, throw me out to SEDWICK your disability management company, who gets paid to keep me in their system-- OH DID I MENTION THAT ALL OF THIS HAPPENED THE WEEK BEFORE MY WEDDING?? I was on paid leave for a year, and then they stopped paying me-- I would LOVE to sue Delta Airlines, but as I am broke and have a husband and father [who has hated me from birth- I ruined his life simply by birth] still working for them-- so it's out of the question. I have exhausted ALL of my employment opportunities-- I don't remember where I've applied, and re-applied, and re-applied, anymore. I'm overly qualified for micky D's-- too young for walmart and generally not up to par for everybody else. The only way this could suck more: Losing my husband... can't say I could blame him though. Would be a smart move to get on with his life. | |
A. Sue them because you actually can, and use the money to take care of your husband and father
B. Go back to school and get educated for a career
And why were you sitting on your ass for a year anyways? You're not blind, just can't see at night. Go volunteer somewhere for a few months and see if jobs open up where you volunteered at. You're not over qualified for McDonalds, I see 40 year olds working there all the time
