#TheWayWeWork - Наука та технологія
As a disabled business owner, the shocking way we're taken advantage of or the attempts to exploit us by society needs to change.
I am also disabled
And it's a sad reality
Neither the abled body people live without discrimination
That's the reason why top 1% own 40% wealth in this world
Bottom 55% only 10-15%
Send this is almost fixed ratio in past 110 yrs
Why so we have to disclose our health information anyway. Isn't HIPPA the Health Privacy Act that protects other health related information. I thought it was we can disclose if we choose but thought they weren't really allowed to ask. Like with an ESA the landlord can't ask a whole lot without prying or violating our privacy once the documents from provider are given. So why would or should the workplace be any different for a PWD vs. those who don't have a disability. Isn't that like saying, " Oh I have this problem da da da. Isn't that implanting the thought why you are less able or qualified. I know I would never think to apply for a position if I wasn't interested or capable. If I didn't think I could do it I would not consider applying. Seems so demeaning and the practice is clearly outdated. Why give a potential employer the mindset of your negatives. The HR practice of filling out that form can be done after hiring not before. It actually seems like an unfair hiring practice.
I have POTS and don’t have the energy to work in person. I fought with HR about working from home and wasn’t allowed to until the pandemic. I was taking lots of sick days and using all my PTO for rest days. I was almost to the point of going on long term disability. I’ve now worked remotely for 3 years and have received exemplary remarks from my supervisor every year. I hardly ever take sick days. It shouldn’t be this much of a fight for disabled people to get basic accommodations and make a living like anyone else.

As someone about to hand in their notice because after 5 years my global employer can no longer accommodate my 3 day, six times a year migraines it's good to see people talk about this. Disability inclusion really helps everyone to be treated like human beings. That's all anyone needs, if they have a chronic health condition or disability or not!
People with disabilities that progress through their life challenges are the main definition of success. It oozes courage, strength, humility and confidence.
Thanks for posting this!
Wow... This is great information and I didnt realize.
Well said. Great video.
Everyone has something valuable to bring to the table 👏
Thank you for including me as part of "The Way We Work" series!
My wife has Cerebral Palsy, and a job, most people don't give her the recognition she deserves, she's always treated as a child
Love these short videos
You just may my day😊😊
This is very splendid ❤
I got let go from my career of 17 yrs as a federal government civilian job w a boss who refused to reconsider the possibility of PWD. yeah we know that's wrong but I was left being removed from my job without discussion bc of my own anxiety and not knowing what to do or where to turn. This was 10 years ago but ruined my work life. We could only hope we have evolved past the dark ages. Appreciate the topic
My little brother (15) got his first job this past summer. Before his first day, my brother told his boss that he has diabetes and may need to take a break if his blood sugar was low or high. On the second day he became hypoglycaemic and had to eat something. When he checked his blood sugar, he boss yelled at him to get back to work. He couldn’t because he way shaky and low and when my brother told his boss, he was not understanding and became very angry. Needless to say, he quit that day
There is no “should“ in the world of Fabulous. There is never guilt or shame. There is only the feeling of celebration as you move past one tiny barrier at a time.
I found that discrimination about hiring people with disability or assumed health issues is prevalent and stopped mentioning them because I was either not offered, or ghosted after an offer whenever the interviewer had discussed any part of my health needs. The law preventing that is kinda pointless, because no one wants to work at a place that discriminates so most places aren't called out on it.
Why can't the hiring HR standard change. Why does a PWD have to state prior to the hiring practice. A person who gets cancer doesn't have to share they might get it. That would be mute and pointless and only encourages potential biases in workplace hiring practices. That should be intolerable. Why can't we go through and then share once hired within the first 30-90 days when we realize what details would need to be discussed at the point it is needed. Confiding before hiring only puts doubtful images in a human who may have limited understanding in that process. A PWD has no reassurances. Maybe this could be the legal practice.

There’s a lot of stuff where people honestly don’t see the advantages. I had no concept of seeing vehicles/etc as prostheses. But once you have that possibility or concept it becomes very natural…
It’s comparable to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis for language. You don’t have the ability to express the need for or use case of a technology because you have no use for it in the first place. A clunky controller or keyboard is great until you need more bandwidth, THEN you consider upgrading. But why not before?
Adaptive techniques and technologies are for everyone… Relegating them to the disabled makes the world function like an original NES. You can get by with hand cramps and back pain. But why???
di indonesia ada ngga yaa yg kyk gini?

Who is here to learn English?

I'm the expert of this
still of concern: exploitation

Should companies have a different recruiting process for people with disabilities...like they have olympics and olympics for people that are disabled?
disability happened based on how the way society is organised and constructed
In South Africa where I'm from, 7.5% of the population has some form of disability, lesson 1% of those are employed.
Not supporting disabled employees as an employer means you miss out on a lot of talent. For example, it always amazes me how few disabled programmers there are. It should be an obvious career choice, since almost anything you do on a computer can be adjusted to your needs.
If you disclose you have disability in your application, they can discriminate and there’s no real proof..but if you lie, could you be a liability to the company?
Legally in the USA, even if you disclose a disability during the interview process they aren’t supposed to use it as a factor in hiring. There’s also a lot of questions that employers are not allowed to ask until they’ve offered you a job. Obviously discrimination still happens but if you can prove that you weren’t hired for that reason you can sue under the ADA.
I had to quit a job because it was no longer safe to work it due to the nature of the job and an increasingly progressive disorder I had. Not every job can be worked safely while having a disability.
But the employer can switch one to a different area when that happens. But we have to make them do something they don't want to deal w and then risk those negative perceptions. Arrogance in the workplace is tolerated towards an individual who wants to do their job and have to walk a tightrope.
@@user-qn5jj5gg2r not if they aren’t qualified for another position. And so many people are afraid to take the disability route that doesn’t pay as much. And it also boils down to pride its hard to let go and know when to quit
The employer can provide more training that's available. Once you let them know the nature that should be documented. What do we do about the ADA Americans with disabilities Act if that's a law? I know one lady who got to give her ultimatum. She got a desk job she could do. But I did notice she never talked or inner acted much at all. Sat there and quietly did her job. That may be the catch. It's like workplace relationship suicide. No one wants to talk anymore or they can't bc of a silence clause. She was a great worker but felt not allowed to talk
From chat gpt
My "Dis-ability" is a Diss on your ability! Yes I'm mental, no I don't care, if it bothers you it's your problem. Someday they will figure out the ones society keeps people pushed out and shunned. I will do it my way, I don't want your money. It implies that you have something I need. Buddy, I have something you need #1 I can't really just tell you what that is. #2 Autism is generally superior, trauma has developed it and isolated it. #3 Good luck figuring out how to reach us. Personally, while I believe I have "special talents" I believe there are so many more than myself. Watch out! Someday someone will find the value of an entire defensive line made up of THE Downsman, excessively strong football players that are happy like Jesus to bull you over. lol
Not me armiring her arm muscles 😅
