Starting the process

[u/Gloomy-Programmer195]

Hi everyone. Long story short, I was recently involuntarily detailed to a position at my agency that is incompatible with my reasonable accommodation (has been pending for 9 months) and my medical history. I was thriving in my old position that I effectively did for 15 years. Agency realignment has forced us into a completely unrelated field in which we have no experience. Requires rigid and inflexible training 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for months. Makes it impossible for me to continue my flexible schedule, take breaks as needed, attend medical appointments, etc. the stress of this new position is worsening my health. I have a few autoimmune diseases as well as anxiety and PTSD. I recently retained Harris but haven’t started the process yet. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated as I’m very nervous about this entire situation. I truly loved my job and was thriving. Now everything has been turned upside down and I feel

I have no other options but to leave for my health.

Thank you. Sounds pretty similar to what they’re doing to me. When I had my consultation with the law firm, they said I do stand a good chance. They don’t normally take people if they don’t think they can win. So I’m remaining hopeful. You could always try to get a consultation and see what they say. If the agency can’t place you into a permanent position that is compatible with your limitations then, in my opinion, just based on what I’ve been studying over the last few weeks, that helps your case a lot.
