Salvation Army Clitheroe

... behind closed doors.
 
Before I was hired, I had a discussion with the men's Residential Director and the Dual Diagnosis Director about my medical issues, including bipolar disorder. My bipolar disorder has never in my life been an issue at a job.            

The Director suggests that my complaining about misconduct by senior staff was part of my illness. It was made clear that if I stopped commenting about mistakes by senior staff then I would stop having problems in my evaluations.

Always the pretext was that I was being "helped".  Part of the "help" was to deny medical benefits. (I have other serious medical issues as well).


  • Numerous restrictions were placed on me that were not placed on any other employee. In many cases, the supervisor would make vague accusations in an evaluation, but would refuse to provide concrete examples. The details are discussed on the website.

  • In those cases where concrete examples of my "misconduct" are provided, they are not accusations that withstand scrutiny. The most serious accusation used to deny medical benefits was the so called "breech of confidentiality" discussed on the conf2   page.

  • I was the only employee, among all employees in Detox and Residential, who never came to work late, never left early, never called in sick, etc. (That is literally true).
  •  I was the only employee, among all my coworkers, who was denied employee medical benefits (as well as other employee benefits)
