Is my doctor's return from LOA request unreasonable for my employer?

I am having an employment related issue at one of America’s largest companies. I am a manager at the company and a victim of overt gender discrimination from a district level manager.

The situation continued and began to cause me extreme anxiety and depression. I started going to see a psychologist and psychiatrist. I was placed on anti-depressants and anxiety medication. After several weeks of therapy, I gained the courage to report it to the EEOC and filed a lawsuit that they have accepted. After reporting the issue to the EEOC, I was placed on corrective action for minor infractions.

On returning to work, the accommodation was requested by the LOA case manager and my doctor that I be allowed to return to work after my LOA part time for the first two weeks. The company declined this request.

On my return, the district manager who I have the lawsuit against immediately contacted me to state they would be coming out to talk to me my job.

Two days later, I was admitted into the hospital for chest pain, elevated blood pressure and difficulty breathing. I was released the following day but was required to wear a Holter Monitor and see a cardiologist. The doctors believe it may have been an extreme anxiety attack.

Because of the anxiety and stress the situation is causing me, my doctor has requested that I be placed back on LOA. The doctor requested that the company provide an accommodation by removing me from the environment and out from under the manager who the EEOC is suing so that I can return to work.

The company has refused to make a decision on the LOA and refused the accommodation. The LOA is now being peer reviewed by other doctors the company has contracted. Because I am in an LOA status but still being “reviewed”, I am not being paid. This process has gone on for two weeks and I was just advised it would be at least another two weeks before a decision can be made. Because of the LOA review status, I was also told that I could not use my vacation or sick time to ensure that I have some pay coming in.

Is this an unreasonable accommodation that is being requested, is or is the company retaliating because of the lawsuit?

Thank you
