I'm writing this currently on my way home at 10:30 am on what was supposed to be my 5th day.
So we'll call the company, company X . When I joined last week I told the person who hired me (CEO, its a small company) that I take monthly injections for my mental health. I told him this because it's an onsite IT Support position. He said "Don't worry you've got the job, but it would have been nice to know beforehand". Keep in mind, the interview was done on a friday and I tried calling him on Monday to tell him this exact scenario. We ended up speaking on Tuesday (my first day) and that is what he told me. My manager, lets cal him Will, said the company is very accomodating and if for any reason I don't pass probation, it won't be because of my injection. Will had also requested a letter from my doctor for proof on behalf of the CEO and said that should be enough on thursday. Will had also reassured me when he joined the company that he too was taking days off once a week (keep in mind, mine is once a month and its not even a day off). I take these injections to stop me from relapsing and I take them once a month on a weekday as that's how the NHS operates. So I informed the CEO that on that once a month day, I will be a little late in coming to the office to which he said the thing I wrote previously and Will reassured me too. Today I came in at 7:30 am and at 9 am will and the ceo had a meeting with me and told me I am "not the right fit". The CEO mentioned that they need someone from 8:30 am till 5:30 pm at all times mon-fri (keep in mind I live in the complete opposite end of London, but the journey wasn't an issue for me). Apparently they couldnt spare me coming in late once a month, so they decided to fire me.
