The case applies to alcohol abuse (sometimes) has occurred since my wife died 7 years ago from having breast cancer. I am covered under the ADA. I had a slipup coming up to the anniversary of her death. I was caught by my manager for leaving walmart and bringing bread and beer home in the work van. They were sealed and not opened. Never had a verbal warning, written warning, was a top producer for company and 0 complaints from customer base.
Company A sent an anonymous email to company B, stating drinking & driving in work van (false), caught drinking on job (false), caught leaving mutiple liquor stores (false). Company B wanted to have me explain the anonymous email (as I was scheduled to start with company B in 4 days). Company wont hire me til I have a letter stating cause of termination. Even though I had passed all drug screens, physicals, background check, etc and was supposed to start work in 4 days. I said I resigned in the inverview, and future employer was ready to hire me, (and not question me about any of my past or want to bypass me in employment) until she received this email.
Thank you so much taxing. I was sober for almost 42 months and employed for 45 months ( starting drinking last 3 months of emplyment, but never draink on job, in van, or worked intoxicated ) I have passed all drug screens, while seeking a job, and only started using occasionally since losing the job. My physician has also added an anti depressant since losing the job as well. I think my lawyer said I should look into counseling too. Maybe for addictions?
