Hello Mark, I'm a 13 year veteran employee, Latin female over 40, working for a major federal contractor. All of my reviews have been excellent until last Wednesday. Over the last several years I reported workplace violence, then harassment, and now it's a hostile work environment. I recently returned from LOA and disclosed PTSD to my manager and also disclosed that I don't feel safe. I believe I'm about to terminated on Monday. This comes as a surprise so I don't yet have a lawyer. I have plenty documented evidence and witnesses. I read that I should send a letter to memorialize the disclosure immediately before they terminate me. If that's correct, what should (or shouldn't) I communicate to mgmt, Ethics Officer, and HR in the email before reporting to work Monday? Can you please help point me in the right direction?
