Dear Disabled Staff,

I'd like to ask how/if you've been discriminated against in the workplace and how/if it was handled appropriately.

I'm worked as medical assistant at one of the bigger hospitals in the Seattle area. I had my accommodations altered, portions removed, and stipulations placed based on new co-workers not understanding my disability/accommodations. They stated I created inequity and reduced morale, so I was required to alter my accommodations. No undue hardship was given.

Continuation (Original Poster) :

The accommodations I had approved since 2022 were for a earbud use, written communication for delayed processing, and quiet workspace for focus work (when focusing on back office tasks not directly with patients).

No alternatives were discussed with me. I was told how things were going to go and to file a formal grievance if I had a problem with the process. I was denied Union help and denied disability services. I've never had any performance improvement plans or any meetings that were about my performance.

I'd like to know any similar experiences or if I'm alone in this.

1YOE medical device NPI Lead looking for salary perspective

Mechanical engineering grad, joined a medical device startup that I had done co-ops at. 8mo into full-time, pivoted from engineering into more of an operations role doing new product introduction (NPI), now with 3 direct reports.

The combination of startup+medical device+NPI seems very unique and I'm struggling to find salary comparables. Currently making 75k but it feels very low given my new responsibility and impact. Any advice?

I am currently a medical biller and coder that just graduated. I am currently in an entry level position because I am still studying to get certified. I will have a year's work of exp in July and will sign a contract for another year because my boss is training me in more I don't know.

I'm wondering what the pay is for someone in my position without certification. I live with family and want to afford to move out but I am single and only make $18/hr. Is that standard or am I being underpaid?
