      HR is the office cop.

      NEVER talk to American cops.

      My HR and I have a wordless dirty look relationship.

          And HR won’t let you be a liability for a lawsuit either. HR is there to protect the company, not you. If they see that you could be a threat in terms of “work discrimination” they will get rid of you first for other reasons so you won’t have the chance

            What the fuck is this thought process? Document everything as it happens, then EEOC their ass for the obvious discrimination. Do not let people discriminate against you.

            Then you can take them to court for wrongful termination.

            I’ve never worked for a company where HR was anything but useless. When you get fired for shit like this (or in general) it’s usually someone in the management chain calling the shots.

              “I would like to file a wrongful termination suit”

              “We’ll need $50K for pre-trial, more if they won’t settle”

              “Oh shit I thought lawsuits were free???”

              “Common mistake, we get that all the time”

                I guess we just make shit up now? The NLRB doesn’t have fees for reporting violations, and Pro-Bono lawyers charge a percent of the settlement not "more if they won’t settle. "

                Yeah, it wouldn’t be worth the effort to go after for a minimum wage gig, but for a 150k career? Definitely. Don’t let “fear of HR” turn you into a door mat that tolerates a toxic work environment.

        I vote, seduce their mum, and bang the shit out of her! Then ask the coworker, who’s your daddy?

      Have some patience

      I’m not disabled myself but if a coworker says something like that they’re probably just uninformed, it just shows that their concerned for you
