Hi Dez, I would suggest reaching out to your doctor or a psychiatrist to get a note via the ADA — Americans with Disabilities Act. It states that employers cannot discriminate against you or fire you solely on the basis of your disability. Have a conversation first with your doctor or psychiatrist, explain this to them and they'll vouch for you. Then go speak to your employer, with the note in your hands, and explain to them that you're unable to work the 25+ hours per week. I would also have something prepared beforehand, in addition to the note from your care team.
Did they say why they won't be able to hire a third person?
