I’ve had this happen to me when I disclosed I needed time off for mental health issues.

Never again.

This isn’t even satire, the company I was at had a whole mental health campaign at the time.

Sounds like you may have a wrongful dismissal case under the disabilities act.. If you have a union rep or pro bono attorney available, it might be worth pursuing for real

Non union company, and the excuse used was that I was “unreliable”.

I wasn’t dismissed, I was just passed over for promotions and projects, exactly like this satirical article. Ended up leaving for a much higher paying job anyway.
