Last January when I had my annual review by Betty Boop (This is not her real name) , my supervisor, tried to nit pick any thing she could about me. I think that she wanted for me to get discouraged and finally quit. S= he was definitely uncomfortable having a PWP on her staff. I think she would have been uncomfortable having anyone with a disability on her staff. On= e thing she picked on was the fact that sometimes I get drowsy in meetings. I told her then that the reason why I get drowsy in meetings is 1, Becau= se I have PD and 99 and 44/100 % of PWP do that too. 2. Specifically the mai= n medication for PD , Levo-Dopa causes drowsiness when it kicks in. Despit= e the fact that I told her it had a medical reason she told me that I bette= r figure out some way to stop it. Then just recently she got another job and I can=92t say I was not please= d.. But on her last day on the job she called me into a room and told me that= I had better get over the drowsiness in meetings and she was going to infor= m Bert , our new manager that I had been warned about drowsiness. I once again told her it had a medical reason and by virtue of my being a PWP I would on occasion have that problem. I felt like that on her last day calling me in like that was just to Zing me one more time and I believe that it hinged on harassment and possibly was a violation, in spirit anyway, of the ADA. Do I have a cause for action against her or should I just be glad she is = gone Like sawdust in a cyclone, so are the thoughts of woodworkers. David L.
