I asked if I can sit down while folding napkins and they told me “no, you’re standing up.” I sat down before during my training :/

Oh it is. 100%. Now, each place is difffetent. Sometimes I’ve had it where they were super easy accommodations where I didn’t have to go through the formal process (HR and everything) and a quick chat with my supervisor and all was good. Other times, it was HR, needed documentation from healthcare provider, etc. But that shouldn’t require more than a private chat.

That being said, probably bring it up the ladder because if you fall and it’s related to them refusing…well, that will be a BIG problem for them. A workplace like that is highly concerning.

yes it is illegal to deny you reasonable accommodation. Sitting or needing a chair is like the most reasonable and easiest accommodation to fulfill. I’d remind them that the ADA still exists and that they are required to follow the law.

Honestly, I would consider reporting the business even if they do end up giving you the accommodation bc that’s sketchy. And definitely keep an eye out for any more red flags
