Has anyone been in this situation?

I've not had this experience, but I am sorry you seem to be. You may be interested in the following, pulled from the federal governments dept. of labor website:

*"Myth: Under the ADA, employers must give people with disabilities special privileges, known as accommodations.*

Fact: Reasonable accommodations are intended to ensure that qualified individuals with disabilities have rights in employment equal — not superior — to those of individuals without disabilities. A reasonable accommodation is a modification to a job, work environment or the way work is performed that allows an individual with a disability to apply for a job, perform the essential functions of the job, and enjoy equal access to benefits available to other individuals in the workplace.

*Myth: Providing accommodations for people with disabilities is expensive.*

Fact: The majority of workers with disabilities do not need accommodations to perform their jobs, and for those who do, the cost is usually minimal. According to the Job Accommodation Network (JAN), a service from the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy, 58% of accommodations cost absolutely nothing to make, while the rest typically cost only $500. Moreover, tax incentives are available to help employers cover the costs of accommodations, as well as modifications required to make their businesses accessible to persons with disabilities."

You are well within your rights to expect reasonable accommodation per the above. Have you spoken with HR about your concerns? I would be sure to create a timeline of all verbal interactions from the time you were interviewed to the current. Who you spoke with, what was stated to you, what date. Speaking with HR can be in your favor, or it could go in the favor of the company -they are there primarily to protect the company from lawsuits.

ADA accommodations can be a paper tiger when it comes to ratings and reviews - there’s a reason the majority of people with autism don’t work. Document everything, lawyer if you need to (if you think you may need one, call one for a consult).

I have a friend of a friend, that works for NASA. Was hired specifically as a disabled hire. His management gave him NO end of grief. Violated many NASA and US Gov rules / laws.

His disability prevented him from being able to go into the office, but he could EASILY do all of his work from home. They wanted him to get a doctors note EACH and EVERY day he could not make it in to work at the office. WTF if he cant make it into work, what makes you think he can get a doctors note.

He filed with his union, turns out NASA has a union, who knew. They started the process but ten he found himself a different job, one that actually cared.

Sad that he had to go and change jobs. The new group has him working completely remote.

Irony is NASA just had an event about awareness for disability, what a joke (see article https://redstonerocket-al.newsmemory.com?selDate=20241106&go...) He tried working through his manager, his managers manager, and the Equal Opportunity Office. Talk about 3 people who are clearly promoted above their skill level.

TL;DR friend of a friend just found another job.

> year end rating based off of opinion

Is there some other kind of year end rating?

In the current regressive economic climate, if you WfH or present any sort of evidence that you cost them a penny more than another "cog" of a worker, you will be flagged as a "liability" and you will be put to the top of the pile to be encouraged to quit through passive-aggressive means or laid off first.
