I was hired by the above referenced employer on or about January 19, 1999, as a Computer
Technician. In time I was promoted to Technical Services Supervisor and Fairmont Branc1)'Manager.
From on or about January 2008 through July 2009, I continually requested from my employ~r
reasonable accommodations for my disability. No action was taken. On or about August 5,2009, I
was counseled and demoted by Tina Stepp, Director, to a clerk position. On or about September 8,
2009, I was discharged.
q
Ms. Stepp informed me that she was discharging me for personal use of the computer. I am aware
of
employees, without disabilities that use the computers for personal reasons
without any actions taken against them.
\ ..
I believe I have been subjected to discrimination based on my disability and discharged in retaliation
for requesting reasonable accommodation, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
in violation
as amended, and subjected to discrimination based on my dis /-J 6/1'1<.,
