It took it's due course.

Well it finally happened. They finally canned me. Carrols Corporation/Burger King fired me for sleeping on the job. Let's not forget I have sleep apnea.

I'm researching if it can be classified as a disability, and if so, I may be able to file a discrimination claim against them through the EEOC. We'll see.

If it makes you feel better, I got 'let go due to overstaffing' so I filed for unemployment. After two weeks go by they decide to fight my claim and state that they fired me for poor work performance..despite being told it was for overstaffing and I never signed any write ups for work performance

If my relationship with my ex taught me *anything*, it's that there are a lot of companies that are shit like that, and don't adhere to ADA requirements.

But she's also told me that since I can't have a sleep study done, I may not be able to be declared disabled.

So I guess we'll see. Miss you :)

So you haven't been diagnosed with sleep apnea at all..??
Was your company aware of the issues? Cuz that could be the make it or break it..specially if there was paperwork..paperwork makes a world of difference.

Miss you too love!

From what I've read myself, it's starting to sound like diagnosis and a sleep study are two different things. Any doctor can diagnose you with sleep apnea. But the sleep study sounds more like its intended to figure out a viable treatment plan rather than actually diagnose you.

My previous physician diagnosed me with it, and wrote on a slip of paper that I have sleep apnea, and I had showed it to my manager and personally put it in my file.

Now I just need to get a copy of that.
