I had to ask for ADA accommodations today and I feel weird about it
Post Body

My new job turned out to be horrible. They lied to me in the interview process and told me that I would be allowed a break to eat and lots of support. I work a high stress job where I’m dealing with special needs children.

Today I found out that they are switching my schedule to work all day 8 hours with 1 child that is high behavior with no lunch or breaks. If I want to eat I have to eat with him (which is impossible as he hits other children). I fought HR and lost. I need this job for at least right now until I find a non shitty job. I requested accommodations and now I have to wait and see what they come back with. I’m Literally just asking for 30 mins to scarf my food down and decompress. I can’t believe I even have to ask for this.

I can’t risk having an episode and my life has been in shambles for the past 5 months while looking for work. I have a little kid of my own and I need to stay stable for him. I hate this shit.

The shift is 8 hours exactly, it’s not illegal in my state. That’s why I’m hoping to use ADA
