My boss told me he will start the health benefit after my 3 months probation but now I had been working for 10 months and still no benefit. (via mail, messages and face to face conversations, I had try to asked him and his replied was yes, I will start) Due to unfair and stress that cause from my bosses, I hanged in my resignation letter stating that I felt unfair of being delay on benefit and workplace issues and my last date is August 31. Another question, I had been asking of the paystubs for the work period from June 2024, and finally I got them on last Saturday and the informations on it (YTD) is incorrect and how can I check if those are fake paystubs or real? My boss had try to asked me to print the excel file (paystubs) for him in July because his printer wasn't working, he also asked me to hang them out to staffs but I did not do that and emailed back to his and let him know there are missing informations and numbers are not correct. I was asked not to comment on our group chat (WhatsApp staff group chat) because my concern maybe more sensitive, I felt very uncomfortable and threatening afterward. I want to know what can I do about it and what are my rights?

I have ADHD and was hired for a new job 6 months ago. At every job I give my boss and immediate team a document about my nerudivergence that outlines how I work and how to best support me in which I documented that opportunities to learn new skills and work on exciting projects keep me engaged (this will be important later on .. stay with me lol) After a few months it became apparent to my manager that I required accommodations so the company placed me on paid leave to get more info from my doctor. I had my doctor answer all their questions and was invited back to work for a meeting to discuss accommodations. In that meeting my boss informed me that all of the more exciting projects and duties that I considered opportunities to learn new skills were being taken away. This had become about 20% of my role so I was quite upset. I made it clear to the company that I felt like this was discrimination but they obviously denied that it was, citing that the needs of the business often change and that was why it was happening. Over the last 2 months I have experienced subtle bullying tactics by my manager and others (using condescending communication methods, micromanaging tasks etc.) and reported them to HR. HR disagreed that this was bullying saying that these people were essentially acting in their capacity as managers (even though 2 of the 3 people I experienced this bullying from were not my manager). As a result of this, I have felt stress and anxiety at work so I asked my doctor to request that the company accommodate my situation by allowing me to work from home for 3 months. The company is now requiring me to visit a doctor again, to prove that the accommodation is a "requirement" and not a "preference". What should I do?
