Hello

I have a hearing disability and use hearing aids for the same. I am currently undergoing interviews for switching.

I wanted to know whether companies consider problems of specially-abled employees and cut them some slack, like in my case, attending client meetings when I am unable to hear in online meetings?

This may be a hot take - but as a younger person, working with parents of small kids (especially new parents) is so frustrating. I frequently find myself responsible for picking up the slack due to their family commitments - it’s also somehow completely socially acceptable for kids to barge into zoom meetings screaming. I wouldn’t find it nearly as bothersome if I felt like leadership and parent colleagues took my issues and non work commitments seriously in addition to that of parents and kids

Just got on on my first project at a new firm (Big4), (quick 2 week project) and as myself coming from supporting the federal side at BAH (no longer there), WOW…. Talk about first day over load.
