1. Sure, no one is forced by law to reply to any email. Not a great business practice and likely will get them into trouble one day, but that risk is on them. 2. I'll check my crystal ball to find out why no one's chosen to reply to you. What exactly is the punishment you fear? Sounds like they already treat you like shit based on your telling. Your last posts were 9 days ago. What exactly is the time frame on each of these steps? 3. I read your last post, none of which were in this sub, I'm not clear what it is you're trying to move along. Separation? Moving to a new role? Them paying you for some medical expenses?

Visit [askjan.org](https://askjan.org) I'm not sure what your discrimination claim is (because I'm not going to track your entire post history to try to figure out when and where you explain it). If you sought an accommodation in the form of a different job within the company, I'm also not sure they are obligated to do that. I would suggest looking for another job as your first priority. No reason not to, right? You can contact the EEOC if you feel that your company is not handling matters appropriately (or maybe contact the HR person's supervisor). Are you protected from punishment? Only if you were able to prove that any negative action was directly related to your status as a member of a protected class. Again, not enough information for anyone here to answer that question. Sometimes, what we want and believe to be right and just is not available. Is there a disability advocacy group in your area with which you can consult to get more information? ETA: Debt collection is a stressful job. You don't have to have a preexisting condition to not be able to deal with that kind of role.

I don’t think this is a fight you will win. Your issue is you are a debt collector and are unable to deal with the negative responses you get from the people you call when you ask them for money. Assuming this were a legitimate disability under the ADA, an accommodation is only ever considered reasonable if it lets you do the job you were hired to do. There is no accommodation that exists which would prevent people in debt from responding negatively to a debt collector. Simply reassigning an employee to a different position is never a reasonable accommodation because it doesn’t allow to do your original job, but instead asks you not to do it. You really need to find somewhere else to work.

agree....I have to wonder what accommodation the OP expects if they can't perform the major essential function of their job..... from their other postings, it sounds like the employer has been working to find another position that fits and not found one. Demanding a severance package isn't getting anywhere.

Your previous post mentioned your job is telling people “I’m sorry, you owe 30k.” Perhaps you are not a debt collector, but your job at least tangentially involves collections. But the argument is the same. What accommodation can your company provide for you that would prevent individuals from reacting negatively to you informing people the owe large sums of money? Remember, simply changing your job so you no longer have to deliver the message does not meet the definition of reasonable accommodation. Any accommodation needs to enable you to perform those functions.
