Tell HR. Fuck 'em. No tolerance for ableism.
Calm your shit dude. Don't go to HR over something this small.
Just punch his dad in the cock.
I vote, seduce their mum, and bang the shit out of her! Then ask the coworker, who's your daddy?
Depends on the mom tho, right?
^..right?
When it comes to being a motherfucker, one must not discriminate.
Fair enough, I see your point.
HR is the office cop.
NEVER talk to American cops.
My HR and I have a wordless dirty look relationship.
I'm not letting my coworkers discriminate against me.
And HR won't let you be a liability for a lawsuit either. HR is there to protect the company, not you. If they see that you could be a threat in terms of "work discrimination" they will get rid of you first for other reasons so you won't have the chance
Then you can take them to court for wrongful termination.
I've never worked for a company where HR was anything but useless. When you get fired for shit like this (or in general) it's usually someone in the management chain calling the shots.
"I would like to file a wrongful termination suit"
"We'll need $50K for pre-trial, more if they won't settle"
"Oh shit I thought lawsuits were free???"
"Common mistake, we get that all the time"
I guess we just make shit up now? The NLRB doesn't have fees for reporting violations, and Pro-Bono lawyers charge a percent of the settlement not "more if they won't settle. "
Yeah, it wouldn't be worth the effort to go after for a minimum wage gig, but for a 150k career? Definitely. Don't let "fear of HR" turn you into a door mat that tolerates a toxic work environment.
That assumes you can find a contingency lawyer that will take your case, which is not guaranteed.
HR is usually very careful with terminations, with policy and practices being reviewed by lawyers so as to avoid giving you anything you can use against them. They're expert in finding justifications to terminate people while making it look above-board.
So you go to HR and smugly try to get someone in trouble for bothering you. They simply will not care that you feel unjustly treated. If they terminate you, it will ostensibly be because your position was eliminated, or for cause (bad performance or other reasons.) But it will really be because the business sees you as more risky and difficult to extract value from than other people who aren't crybabies. (That is what they will see you as, no matter what.)
And then you go to a contingency lawyer and tell your story, and they say, "sorry, we can't do this on contingency because their case is too strong. They documented that they have valid reasons. But if you want, our retainer is $10K to get started, and we'll try to meditate for you." When mediation fails: "Another $40K for trial prep." So at this point the lawyer is fucking you too, and you're spending 5 figures on a case you stand a good chance of losing.
Or, you could just say "I'm not gonna talk about my pills, dude" to your coworker, and then go eat a pop tart in the break room, and stay out of that whole entire hurricane.
This. This this this.
What the fuck is this thought process? Document everything as it happens, then EEOC their ass for the obvious discrimination. Do not let people discriminate against you.
In my experience, fucking HR is worse than the gossip boxes.
Have some patience
I’m not disabled myself but if a coworker says something like that they’re probably just uninformed, it just shows that their concerned for you
No it doesn't. It shows they have a high and mighty attitude and they're fucking ignorant. They can keep their lack of medical expertise to themselves.
The correct response here would be to simply say "no" when they say "can I ask what it is you're taking."
It's too late though. That's not the scenario presented.
Absolutely agree!
Sounds like something an ableist would say. I'm sure homophobes are "just concerned" about the lifestyles of LGBTQ.
