Manager Contacted Metlife And Told Them Im Faking Being Disabled
Location: Tennessee and Mississippi
Background: Ive worked for this company for 10.5 years, and been promoted 4 times. I never was written up until last year when we got a new manager. I also have a legally protected disability, and I was hired with accomadations.
Since this manager started in March of 2025, ive gotten 9 written warnings, 22 write ups, and 13 suspensions. I was investigated under accusations that I was stealing money (I dont work with the money), got suspended for "being late" on a day that I was on time (she wrote me up at 9 am on a sunday morning, my time punches was still pending because time isnt completed until 11am sunday mornings. She knew this). And I have been yelled at and harassed by her on the sales floor, mocked, talked about to other emplpyees and recieve multiple texts when im off.
She also is no longer allowing me my ada accomadations (which of course has thrown my health in the shitter). I brought her new documentation and she still would not approve it. She has since been accusing me of lying about being disabled.
On saturday of last week I attempted suicide. I was so overwhelmed and hopeless due to her harassment that I couldn't take it anymore.
I have now filed for fmla to take some time to get my health and my head back in order (and frankly, look for a new job)
I have asked management a few times about if they got my forms from metlife yet. They kept saying no.
Well today I contacted metlife and they said they they need to do further investigations as they recieved suspicious information regarding my case.
I reached out to management again and the assistand manager looked into it, and and let me know that the head manager had replied to them claiming that I am faking my disability and im lying to get free time off.
Is this legal? What steps should I be taking here
