Fired! (The Five-Year Face-Plant)

The efforts stop with whatever measures protect the company. That's partly because accommodating us is not as profitable in the short term, and partly because companies are made of people and people think disability accommodation means 'can a wheelchair user technically get into this building/area,' or 'does a blind person have access to the braille version of this...' And make sure you aren't neurodivergent or need fatigue accommodation; instead of having your need addressed, you could just be dismissed for not meeting arbitrary requirements that no one in a similar job even does on a regular basis, like lifting 50 lbs.
