Ada Violation?

Card image cap

Location: Colorado

To start off, this post mentions suicide, for those who are uncomfortable with this subject, this is a warning.

I've been extremely depressed lately amd have suicidal thoughts and vivid hallucinations of cutting my wrists open. I came into work despite have these hallucinations and thoughts trying to fight through my depression and survive another day.

My work performance (mainly my customer service) started to decline and because I wasn't myself my GM approached me and basically told me that I need to have a positive attitude. I told him that I can't promise positivity but I can promise him professionalism. He then stated verbatim "maybe I wasn't clear, a positive attitude is a requirement of the job." I didn't know how to respond to that as being positive was impossible for me at the time. Something snapped in my brain and I did some I've never done before, I said, "ok, bye." And took off my shirt and apron and left them on the counter, clocked out and went home and had a mental crisis.

My wife called 988 and 911 and I had to take a couple of days to stabilize and now realizing my rights under the ada may have been violated.

I need your guys opinions.
