Seeking thoughts of a corporate company that treats employees poorly?
I am seeking advice regarding a difficult situation at work. My operational manager recently questioned my sobriety, claiming my speech sounded slurred. However, I am currently on medication due to a work-related injury, which causes side effects like drowsiness and sluggishness. I had already informed management of my injury, my medication, and my upcoming medical appointments. Do you think it was appropriate for my manager to make those comments under these circumstances, and how should I handle this? #advice #workplace #workinjury #HR
Suggestions ideas?
A year ago I was hurt at work, and was not able to return. I have to change my whole career and do sedentary type work, problem is I only have ever done manual labor type work. It has made looking for a new job pretty difficult, a lot of places want experience in that type of setting or a degree which I don’t have. Anyways a family friend is retiring and told his boss about me and told her that I would be perfect for that position, herself and her boss say the job is mine. The problem is HR won’t pass my application through, I’ve talk to her and asked what I could do. Unfortunately she not budging, they still say the job is mine but I don’t know what to do? Any suggestions? Thank you

It's understandable to be upset by your manager's comments. It's important to address this situation with HR to ensure your rights are protected. Consider documenting the conversation and providing any medical documentation related to your medication and its side effects. Also, discuss with HR if accommodations can be made. Remember, it's important to advocate for yourself in situations like this. You may also want to seek advice from legal resources or consult a career coach for additional support. Best of luck in resolving this matter. For more support, consider reaching out to HR professionals, legal advisors, and forums like Jobcase to seek additional advice and insights from the community.
