I don't necessarily need restrictions but if I wanted them, could probably get them. My injury is aggravated by repetitive motion. It's a catch 22: I do have more pain because I do have to work and it does hurt (hence the pain med). I'm just assuming that if needed, I could possibly have...
Dear FlaRiptide:
They have dragged this out for over a month! Other employees have told me they heard I was in big trouble making it appear I've broken some law concerning the drug test which everyone knows I took. I don't want other employees to know my personal medical history because I...
Additional question? Should I now be declaring to them that since I'm legally disabled, I need some special restrictions? In other words, I have never asked for it because I feel I would've been discriminated against for advancement. I realize it's illegal to discriminate for disabilities but...
I did go to the meeting & just got back. Took the entire day off (paid leave) just because I'm so stressed over the entire issue. There were several people there and confidential medical info was talked about. After they told results of drug screen, I reminded them that I have never given...

I cannot take notes, part of my disability is an injury to my wrist (fusion). If I call in sick they'll say I'm a no-show. Even another supervisor in another dept has told me to include my spouse if there's no one else available. I've spoken to an attorney who said its my right to have...
I am facing a reprimand at work tomorrow. Some background... About a month ago I had a very minor fender bender in the work parking lot. They drug tested me. It was reported negative, although I'm on prescription meds that I take nightly, it was reported to my supervisor (due to the fact...
I have been DOT tested more times than I can count. My doctor knows what I do for a living. The medical examiner doing the test has always called me to confirm the legal prescription so that it comes down to a negative test result and they know what I do for a living. I only take my medicine...
I am a government employee with a CDL and take a prescription for a controlled substance. I recently had a mishap at work and although my test was determined negative for illegal drugs, the medical examiner told my supervisor that I was on the drug and what kind it was! I have taken at least...
