Anyone with insight on Tyson Mendes?
Hi all, does anyone know of any recruiters or hiring managers that work in Affirm Inc. I've been applying for a couple of jobs with them . The role I have applied for I know lam a extraordinary fit for
100% and can help the company/ department succeed. I have a good deal of experience with this role and would love to talk to a recruiter or a hiring manager more about this. If anyone
could reach out to me if you have any information on that I would greatly appreciate it.

Pretty sure that's against ADA and FMLA. Did your healthcare provider speak to you about either of these acts and how it would help protect your job? Really, you should reach out to your HR department. That's your responsibility. If you don't have these things in place, you've hurt yourself.
Yes, I did as I indicated I had a note and all the note needed was to reduce my hours because of back issues that’s all it was. I did speak to the HR department and they basically said it was up to my supervisor and then my supervisor said it was up to HR. Also, as far as FMLA I had asked HR about it but FMLA is only if you’re having a baby or you have a serious soul. Mine would not be considered a serious illness unless it was something like cancer, etc..

A couple questions are you US based and does your company have more than 50 employees? If so they absolutely have to allow you to apply for FMLA, intermittent/reduced schedule FMLA is a thing. If the company is small enough that they don't have to provide FMLA, then ADA accommodations is the way to go. Again, a company can fight that as well if they can argue hardship, but most don't want to deal with that. If they aren't playing along in either case, I'd consult an employment lawyer.
I agree they did bully me. The only thing is that they point out with their job was stressing me out so bad and then dealing with you know the stress of having back issues from you know a minor knee injury, etc. it was just I just wanted to get out of there like I didn’t wanna go another day and I guess I didn’t want to drag it out any longer butI’ve at least I’ve applied for other assistance to back me up in case the unemployment doesn’t work out but I’ve got the proof of unemployment needs that I started with them filing my claim and they told me to keep filing
