Ugh, currently struggling to get workplace accommodations. Especially for those of us with invisible and/or dynamic disability, it seems impossible to get employers to take us seriously. Anyone who has gone through the process of reporting their employer to the state pls tell me how it went lol
In my experience, it often goes wrong many many times before it goes right. If you haven't already looked, maybe this is a good resource? https://www.eeoc.gov — Kat
For years, I had been asking and advocating for myself. Unfortunately, many of the accommodations that some institutions have are just not accessible (one place I worked for touted ergonomic work accommodations and basically just told me to watch how I sit and didn’t do much other than instruct me on what that looks like?) or people have told me to “not request them” which is silly. I appreciate you writing this as a primer to how to request them and will use this as a resource for people who ask me again 🥹
It's WILD that we have to work so hard to get the bare minimum of what we need in a workplace. We'll do our jobs better that way! We'll be "contributing" members of society! We'll be able to financially sustain ourselves and pay for the health care we need to feel better without relying on a broken system! (It's just so obvioussss.) But we're so glad you found it helpful!
