I've been with ups for 3 years and on Nov. 1st I got fired for being slow im working with the union to get it back But their trying to convince me to quit and just take the cash. This is the story on how it went down I've been on a waiting list during my 3 years at UPS to see a doctor cause in the past when I was younger I was told I had ADHD. In high school I chose to stop taking my medication cause of a few reasons like lack in sleep,loss of appetite, and I dint feel right so I chose to stop. Cause of my lack in speed at work and my lack of attention and talking more than I should I chose to find help it was a long 3 years with supervisors on my back telling me how slow I am getting suspensions for it as well and always some one watching me in the trailers doing speed counts and always retraining me as if I dint know my job. Yes i have hurt my back at work 2 or 3 times but that's to happen in a job like this. During my last year I was starting to crack talking back to supervisors missing days cause I was tired of it all during the last month one of the supervisors evan started to threaten me to take time off hours cause I would take my washroom breaks just a little before or after the break was called and would take 10 mins to do my business and at times I may go twice in a day but I have a doctors note for that as I have a anal fissure. But they seem to not care I evan got sick this year and got a suspension for it when I had a doctors note. Now just 3-4 weeks before I got fired I got to see a doctor about my speed issues and such and he said I have adult ADHD and have to take medication again. This was made possible to a program I found at the CLSC in Quebec Canada where I get help to have some one talk to my boss about how to fix theses issues and reason with him to help him understand my issues but the supervisors would call or talk to him when he called so he could tell my doctor how im doing on the medication. So I chose to go to HR during the last week to file for harassment. At the end of the week HR came to me saying that some one is coming next week to look into it I was existed to think it will finally be all over with. I was wrong at the end of the day I was pulled into the office and told I was fired. Now it's Dec. 19 and the only deal on the table is I don't get my 2 weeks pay for unjust cause and I get my job back only untill they get more info from the doctor about my limitations but this cant work unless the doctor gets info on how I work with my current medication. So I said no to that deal union says to call back next month for a update. But so far during this time I haven't got my vacation pay nor have I gotten my employment papers to get payed by EI. I called HR about this issue they said since im fighting for my job back im still employed by UPS so I wont be getting this I have no idea how to fight this and no matter what I say or do im wrong it seems and can't move forward with my life. If it wasn't for my wife to be and my mother id be on the street in the winter with my 2 cats and my dog who needs to see a vet cause he can't walk to well.
I hope you guys can help and thx for reading sorry for my bad grammar I was hoping to go back to school next year since im top rate now. But despite my situation I'll be buying donuts for the guys at the night shift tonight or tomorrow as a x-mas gift and how much I miss my job no need to be sad just make the best of it.
Merry x-mas and happy New Year
