I don’t think I can take it anymore. I just can’t.
HAHA welcome to nordstrom when managers and hr disappear when you need them. Quit if u can. Sorry your body basically tells you that it can’t take more pressure from nordstrom. This place just asks and asks and expect too much without backup from management until employees can’t give anymore.
Did you ask why they denied it?
@plil+1mEn182R sounds like you need a different job lol
I have an current leave of absence and the process is daunting, at best, and have already been denied due to my paperwork not being thorough enough. Anticipating a talk with my management team when i come back. Not feeling confident about the outcome but my declining mental health and chronic hip pain are enough to see the writing on the wall either way
Nordstrom hr is just as incompetent as asset protection
HR is adversarial. It reminds me when I was Injured at work, but had to go to a Nordstrom doctor first... “you’re fine, ice the swelling.“
My thumb was broken.
Document everything, spread it to channel news make it public. Don’t hide if you’re right
I had a similar experience where HR seemed hostile and hinted of retaliation if I pursued a disability claim due to a chronic work injury. Also the woman assigned to evaluate my workstation ergonomics was borderline hostile and accusatory toward me saying my injury/pain issues were all my fault.
All I can say is I’ve never been happier since I’ve left that company.
Nordstrom HR is a joke
I’ve have done a formal complaint with the Ada. It feels like a retaliation from the hr department for asking for very simple accommodation, refusing saying against company policy but I am standing my ground.
Yes, I received accommodations for an ongoing health issue. As requested I provided a detailed information from my doctor on what my work limitation was. I was then told by the HR rep that that was not good enough and I was given more hoops to jump thru with my doctor. I had written notes with the exact wording I was given by the very HR rep I was talking to and gave the quote of what was requested by her. I then mentioned it was time to conference in her boss and the CHRO. There was a lot of back peddling when I would not back down. It seemed to me that the HR rep I was talking to was making it up on the fly with the goal of being able to deny my request. This was not done thru the Americans With Disabilities Act and if you have a serious issue that may be the way to proceed. Afterword I felt targeted but I’m tolerated because of a unique skill set. All in all I would not do it again knowing what I do. HR also tried to use my boss as a way to discourage me from proceeding. This was not a major accommodation I was requesting. The whole process had an odor about it.
