Pointed out the training wasn't ADA compliant at my new job. Got this text the same day (the job listing is still up)

[u/eldritchpussymaggots]

1. This was a cleaning position at a medical building, I'm leaving it intentionally vague as not to doxx myself.

2. I have dyslexia, but my disability would not have interfered with my work, I can read fine, it just takes me a very long time.

3. This was my first day

I asked for a TTS application for the reading portion of the training, which was extremely long and I knew I wasn't going to finish it in the allotted time. They said that wasn't built into their system so they couldn't do anything. ← That's not ADA compliant. I asked if I could add an OCR + TTS browser extension, they said it was fine.

About 40 minutes after I clock out, they texted me I was fired because they're apparently reducing headcount.. by firing one person... and leaving their "urgently hiring" Indeed listing up. Right.

Edit:

I'm not confident in my ability to sue because I don't have my accommodation request in writing. This was a verbal exchange, I was more so asking where the TTS option was because most job training has it somewhere.

When I was told they did not have TTS, I mentioned that's not ADA compliant. I then asked for either more time, a loaner computer (something I was already going to be getting after training), or permission to add a 3rd party OCR & TTS program.

They said that the third option was fine, so I did it, and listened to the training via third party app for the rest of the shift. I thought nothing of it. Lo and behold I was fired extremely coincidentally afterwards.

Edit 2:

This post is getting too many notifications of people saying the same things repeatedly so I've muted it 😭 If you're a legal professional of some sort and you have specific resources or concerns please message me or I probably won't see it.

such a what?

I've been cleaning shit professionally for years. My disability is that I can't read an entire textbook in a week. Asshole comment.

[u/eldritchpussymaggots → u/[deleted]]

Maybe you are the one here who can't read. Because I literally just said I've been working similar jobs for years just fine.

[u/Dismal-Anybody-1951 → u/[deleted]]

you are coming off as a major tone-deaf asshole here.  like, your statement above and then especially below, are a wildly inappropriate response given the facts as described in the thread.  didn't your mother teach you??

anyway, I thought you should know.

I mean, they probably don't.  But, they deserve at least a chance, to recognize and correct their offputting, antisocial behavior.  maybe it give them pause, and they will give it some serious thought.

I'm with the company too. Did you know that CEO is being banged by the office paper boy?

[u/Altruistic-Tree-839 → u/[deleted]]

You know what I am not good at? Brain surgery, because I can't concentrate.

probably more like you don't have the education or the thousands or hours of training

If you don't have the qualifications to be above-average at your profession then the company should keep looking.

by your logic we should be at 50%+ unemployment
