I’m having a lot of issues at work and facing dismissal. This has gone to the most senior level of the organisation, and is what I believe to be a very clear case of closing ranks.
Has anyone been in this position and what did you do? I can’t afford a solicitor but am thinking of approaching the no win no fee ones. My employer has not made reasonable adjustments and has turned a blind eye to blatant bullying comments made by other staff members.
I have demonstrated I can do the job, and have it in writing (before I disclosed autism) that there are no issues with my ability to do the work. That has since changed to concerns that I can’t do my job. And that as a junior member of staff they can’t make reasonable adjustments because that means I would be unable to learn from other people.
NAS50557 said: My employer has not made reasonable adjustments and has turned a blind eye to blatant bullying comments made by other staff members.
It is not worth the effort. I would make arrangements and plan ahead by looking to work for another company that will support you. Even if they will make adjustments for you, it would have created tension which will create more reason for bullying.
When going into any job, the first thing I would check is how they acommodate people with disabilities. The way they treat their employees indicates how well they treat their business. If they overlook this situation it means they simply don't care enough, and not worth your time.
