Peter – I am just continuing what you started…….Society does put a lot pressure on people. It is really a double edge sword in the workplace.
When an employer on an job application asks “Do you need any accommodations to perform your duties due to disability?
If you put anything on the list…. you won’t get hired
There is government legislation that is supposed to prevent discrimination based on mental or physical.
That doesn’t prevent it in the hiring process.
I have just been diagnosed with adult ADD and I am hoping to start a new job soon.
Will I mention to anyone that i have this diagnosis…..NO!!
if I find I need an accommodation in 1year with the job………..NO! unless it is a performance issue and this is the only way to
keep the job
If you have a showdown over a wrongful dismissal due to disability ….GOOD LUCK lawyer bills will drain resources and then if you are lucky and get settlement…. years later
Jobs themselves have become complex… The demands on people whether or not you have a disability is enormous.
Pace of work has sped up….emails create expectations that there should be instant response
I am getting stressed just writing here….. lol!!
Ps I still have a sense of humour
