Michigan I Was Fired Today, In The Midst Of The Ada Interactive Process

Location: Michigan

I’m based in Michigan but worked remotely for a company in Texas.

Today I was fired while taking a sick day for “performance issues”.

Here’s the timeline:

12/17/25: New manager starts

12/18/25: Written disclosure of disability to leadership/new manager

1/9/2026: Behavioral performance assessment

1/9/2026: Scheduled a formal request for accommodations email to be sent 1/12/2026

1/12/26-1/19/26: On PTO

1/20/26: Return to work

1/23/26: HR confirms receipt of request for accommodations email/request to begin interactive process

1/20/26-1/29/26: New manager refuses to meet with me to discuss new expectations

1/30/26: Take a sick day

1/30/26: Received a termination email citing performance issues identified in the 1/9/26 assessment, less than two weeks after returning from approved PTO

I’ve already filed an EEOC charge.

My questions:

Which jurisdiction’s law governs (Michigan vs. Texas) for ADA and retaliation claims in a remote-work situation?
Does termination during an ongoing interactive process (after written disclosure and HR acknowledgment) raise additional legal exposure for the employer?
What documentation is most important to preserve or submit (emails, timelines, PTO records, performance assessments, etc.)?
Should I consult an employment attorney immediately, or wait for the EEOC intake/interview stage?
