I was fired from Uhaul corporate for my IBS causing tardiness, though I always fully communicated the situation with them and had seen doctors for the issue, and when I was fired, the person who terminated me told me, “I’ve never heard of a medical condition that makes someone late”, when it’s known medically that ibs flare ups and crisis usually occur in the morning. I just told him, “well that’s not accurate information” and they asked me if I’d like them to gather my things for me, and I said “it’s OK, ill collect them myself if that’s allowed”, and collected my items from the job I had been at for 2 Years and gone through 3 different sets of management in, and left, fired by the most recently appointed management, after the first two sets of management had let me know they understood the problem and had accommodated the issue. Those people have stayed in management since, and should never have been placed in charge of other people’s lives. They were also aware that my car had just broken down and that I was paying for transportation to come to work as well in the meantime, and they did not care ultimately, as seen by their actions and statements in the process of firing me for a medical issue I have no control over. One time leading up to keep being fired, my boss said “you have to weigh your options, what’s worse, skipping whatever you’re doing that’s making you late, or losing your job?” And every day I did ask myself this question, and had to conclude that yes, it was better to lose a job that didn’t understand my medical issue, than to accidentally poop my pants trying to drive there when my stomach wasn’t ready for that car trip yet, and either never make it to work out of embarrassment and have tons of cleaning and a rash to deal with, not to mention humiliation l, or even show up to work with pooped pants and disgust everyone and put my health and everyone’s else’s at risk and humiliate myself and get sent home with a rash and tons of cleaning to do and tons of irreversible humiliation among my coworkers, and probably being fired eventually for that as well. I have no respect left for Uhaul corporate whatsoever.
