I was fired Tuesday March 23rd "we need to let you go".
Employed for 10 years...never been written up.
Wisconsin is an "at will - hire/fire state" basically you are lucky to have a job and they can let you go whenever they want. However your employer" lets you go and has a written termination policy (verbal, 2 written) they cannot fight unemployment." My employer is not fighting unemployment.
I do have to complete 4 work searches per wk. This too is fine...with the exception that...
All applications ask: Are you disabled or are you a veteran?
I have never been classified as disabled. Wisconsin will not classify me disabled until I am bed ridden because they sent me to school back when I was diagnosed with MS - "occupational therapy". This education provides me and the state the opportunity for me to work; so long as I can sit at a desk 90% of time which makes me 100% employable until "something changes" (like I cant be held upright in a wheel chair with duct tape).
There is a list of disabilities; one of which is MS. I have remittent remissive. I have in the course of 10 years needed to call in due to debilitating migraines, have had to leave work early due to muscle contractions and then there is the fatigue. The fatigue...you look somewhat awake, however you comprehend little and want to drool on yourself.
Do I answer the question and circle MS or do I opt out and say "do not wish to answer".
I need income; I have to work.
My worry if answer and say I have MS I risk losing an opportunity to work. If I answer no; do I risk getting fired by lying on an application?
Obviously an employer cannot deny employment based on vet status or disability...the glitch is...It's up to you to prove that is why you didn't land the job.
