Charter Communications - BroadBand Solutions out of DePere,WI is a contractor for Charter, and they discriminate against employees with handicaps Onalaska Wisconsin

I am a former employee of Charter Communications employed by Broadband Solutions Inc., who is a contractor for Charter. I worked for this company for a year before I was fired due to a handicap that they were told about at the interview. I have Attention Deficeit Disorder and Panic Attacks. BSI was aware of this when they hired me.. I was hired by Andy Anderson and when I started a week later Andy had been replaced by Dave Brose. I reminded/informed Dave of my handicap and he asked how to accommodate me for my handicap, I told him I needed to take frequent breaks, especially if I get panic attacks,, he said no problem we can work with that. He told me numerous times that if I got behind on my work schedule or "swamped" to call him so he could come and help me or get someone in the area to help me.. that happened only once, there were times when I was out till 9 pm at night.. and then would get wrote up by Mr. Brose for not completing my tasks on time. But then there were times when I was swamped with work and had to go and help other techs in the area, but he couldn't get someone to help me.. After exactly a year to the date.. Dave Brose fired me saying they could not accomodate my disability nor were they required too do it.

I filed a greivance with upper management and with Charter.. but to no avail. So I filed a grevience with the state of Wisconsin, and when it went to mediation, Broadband stated that they fired me because I had too many complaints from customers about my work, however when BSI's Quality Control person inspected my work every week, I always got high marks on installation and customer service.

Do not work for Broadband or Charter, they discriminate and play favorites.
