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.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
