Thank you. I'll do that.

Discrimination seems to run high around here, even on just what a person wears

for shoes they can be fired.

Get a letter from your doctor and tell them that you are asking for reasonable

accomodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. If they will not

accomodate you, contact your states EEOC.

I don't know if any of you would be able to answer or not, but I have

a question about when problems caused by diabetes cause problems at

work. Next week I have 3 days when I have to stand for 9 hours in one

place counting stuff. My feet are in pretty bad shape from the

neuropathy and the lack of support under the high arches. We are not

allowed to sit down. I already asked about it. I was told we will

have 2 15 minute breaks and an hour lunch break. If I cannot stand in

one spot for the 9 hours, I will have no work and no pay, obviously.

The only thing they will do to help me out is to allow the meals and

snacks when I need them (that being not on schedule like I am supposed

to, but if I seem to be getting low on sugar while I'm working). Is

there anything I can do so that I won't lose my job because of the

complications? This is the only thing I have been able to find for a

job in 10 years.
