On Tuesday, April 5, Drugstore.com discriminated against me due to my disability. I am very disappointed in Drugstore.com's policy when it comes to harassment. I was harassed by by another temporary employee for at least 2 weeks... Being somewhat bullied, picked on, and being among antagonizing, patronizing, belligerent comments, getting stickers stuck on my back and distracting my work when I was already in pain from my sciatica.
After his comment about - "Why don't you just go jump out a window?" I asked him in return, "Have you ever seen the movie "Color of Night" with Bruce Willis and Jane March?" He kept on with his behavior and I simply said, "You need to stop your behavior because it is not welcomed and it's also harassment. If not, perhaps you would like a fist shoved up your a—." I said "perhaps", I never said I was going to or that I would.
The comment I made is a type of comment that comes out of me since I am bipolar, and my bipolar is about 85%-90% depression, 5% happy, and 5% angry. Bipolar is nothing but highs and lows and usually it's lows for me. The temporary employee nor Drugstore.com doesn't know my life as a victim (yet, I choose to be a survivor) from people and my own family - so, I don't have to go into it. God knows, my woman knows, and I know that I would never hurt anyone and what I said to him was NOT a threat. He was threatening me and my character, integrity, and you don't say to someone "why don't you jump out of a window" when the person who is being told that has tried to commit suicide 4 times.
Drugstore.com failed to make "reasonable accommodations" for my disability as they didn't know of my disability, nor did the co-workers. This is in violation of applicable laws with those that have disabilities. They ended my contract that day and it's frustrating because I brought the problem to the manager to address and I was the one let go.: (
