Lansing, MI

My job turned on me and I had to quit due to the stress of trying to work and focus on my treatment plan for narcolepsy. Was wondering if thjere is any programs to help with medical expenses and medication expense, and expenses in general.

I quit putting down that I have any disabilities. Work looks at everything collectively and doesn't want to hire me. Social security disability look at each individual thing and decide none of them are bad enough for me to not work. I work until I lose my job, then find another.

The bar to prove constructive discharge is extremely high. I don’t understand why people on here keep posting AI legal advice. Please stop doing that.

Hannah, message me if you’d like to chat. I’ve experienced similar discrimination in the workplace.

Hannah, there is something called 'constructive firing' that comes about when someone is being forced to quit because they have no choice because of how they are being treated.
Constructive firing—also known as constructive discharge or constructive dismissal—occurs when an employer makes working conditions so intolerable that a reasonable person feels forced to resign. Even though the employee technically quits, the law treats the separation as an involuntary termination

Look into it in case you have enough proof for a lawsuit.
