My job could not be modified to suit me as it turns out. My job required heavy computer work and 80-90% or more was spent using the computer.
I believed at the time that finding me another job in the company without much computer use would have worked. However, it turns out now, that any position would not have worked. I did not realize it at the time and wanted to try something else in the company.
As far as trying to accomodate me, The HR lady emailed me about two Vice presidents and suggested I talk with them. I spoke to one VP right away and he informed me of two openings available, one under him and one under the other VP. The VP gave me the name of the managers to talk to(one position in his group and one in the other VP's group). I talked to the managers the VP recommended. ONe manager said his position was filled, and it turns out the position had heavy computer usage. The other position was the same and I wouldn't meet my needs.
I went back to human resources and let them know that the position was filled and it had heavy computer use. The HR lady told me "you don't have a degree, do you Mark. Sorry there is nothing else available". For some reason I believe there were other positions available. I think I went on the web and looked. I asked, "what about those field service jobs or tool engineer jobs?" She just clammed up.
That is when I went back a few days later and asked about how to apply for disability because the dizzynees was unbearable. They clammed up and wouldn't give any advice. 7 weeks later I was laid off with a group. I was the only guy with my skillset laid off at that time. One or Two weeks later they laid off another guy with a similar skillset. I think he may have been gone on vacation for the original party.
