I worked for a large PBM for 10 years and when my MS began to impair my cognitive skills, they gave me a final warning (on my first day back from short term disability) for "performance transgression". They threw in an "email use infraction" to solidify their cause. My manager at the time started the ball rolling when I went out on STD the first time. She told me that "I brought the relapse on myself", that I psyched myself out. Inflicted hurtful verbal abuse on me in the presence of my team. The list goes on and on. In the mean time, I fell into severe depression because of all the hostility from my manager, HR and my team that by the time we met for a mediation with EEOC, I was in a weak state of mind. I could not and should not have been making any critical decisions. They coersed me into signing the waiver by giving me an ultimatum; resign or they will terminate me when I returned to work. I was vulnerable and was literally at my wits end. I physically and mentally could not take anymore abuse so i signed the waiver. Is this wrong or illegal having someone in my then state of mind, sign anything that would affect their livelihood?? I need advice
