Can my work fire me because of my decline in memory and frequent uncontrollable seizures?
I am medicated and I think part of the reason is medication but I keep making errors at my job. It's not major for the most part, I am still fairly new at the position as well (4 months) but I can see they expect me to make less mistakes and are wanting to get rid of me.
My problem is my short term memory and my seizures. I've been having a lot more lately and they are taking their toll on my memory. I've worked 7 years to get to the position I'm at now and am terrified it will all be stripped away.
It's silly things I can't remember. Names, faces, I have trouble forming words at times, sometimes everything is perfectly fine, other days I can't remember what I ate for breakfast that day, or who I spoke to. I am doing my best to get good at note taking and improving my memory but I feel stupid half the time because I forget things that JUST happened and can't recall it to save my life.
My boss often calls other employees she wants to fire stupid, I know she views me the same. The way she rolls her eyes and gets angry when I forget something small.
But none of my mistakes are big, none of them hurt the company and none of them really make things difficult for anyone but me. Everything is fixable. I can tell she doesnt understand the seizures (because they arent always generalized) and holds even those against me and considers me an "idiot like the rest"
It's only recently gotten bad, maybe it's the medication or maybe it's because the seizures have gotten worse lately but IDK what I'm going to do if I lost this job.
