Does having a disability offer any job protection? should a company be notified if someone who didn’t have disability before has one now? Trying to make sense what’s best course of action, as it is confusing

I would say it really depends. Like I have a disability according to the standards set, but they don’t affect my job so I’ll never disclose them to my job.

Not a lawyer but it doesn’t offer job protection beyond anyone without disability. I also believe the only way they can get rid of someone for having the disability is if a reasonable accommodation is impossible to make. As an example of an (minor) accommodation, I received an ergonomic keyboard due to carpal tunnel. I have other accommodations as well. I think, though, you need to talk to an employment lawyer.

like

Do you need or anticipate an accomodation?

Reporting the disability allows for the accomodation.

But it does not exempt you from firing or layoffs, as long as that action is demonstrated to be based on other factors (eg you committed fraud, you were arrested for a crime that makes it impossible to work in your industry, the company laid off 10% of the workforce)

Can the company let go due to the disability?

You should notify your employer ASAP through the proper channels so HR can review.

Talk to a lawyer first. I think it could go either way.

If you don’t need special accommodations, don’t report it

I have a disability and had it before starting at Pepsi. I was originally hired as a remote employee.
I tried to get disability accommodation to stay remote with their return to office mandate of 3 days a week, because traveling/commuting is difficult. HR replied that the building is accessible and refused my request 😐

I will say I quite enjoy emailing HR 3 times a week to complain the ADA door buttons are shut off, and I can't exit the elevator lobby due to being unable to open the door 😆 I usually sit in the lobby area for about 15 minutes before someone else can hold the door open for me to get through.

Thank you everyone for your responses

This is kind of not great but even if you do have a disability (and I do as well), companies will find a way to terminate you or lay you off that has nothing to do with your status if they want you gone. There are so many ways to let someone go without touching Title II or IX. eek.

Can they let go because of disability? If the disability has a negative effect on the quality of work?

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.

Seems that the vaccine that usually takes more than 10 years to develop, test for side effects and go through the regulation process is being very fast tracked to roll out - which is a super great thing to potentially eradicate the virus. on the other side of the spectrum, people with life sciences n healthcare insights, how reliable and safe would you say vaccine (being fast tracked) is...?

Hi everyone!

This post is specifically geared towards those of you who have worked in BOTH the corporate and small (startups) company environment.

Here is my situation: I’ve worked in different startups here and there accumulatively 3 years now. While I enjoyed my coworkers and how my employers treat the staff, as well as the wide range projects I get to be involved in, I feel like I’m stuck in a sense that I’m not learning and growing at the speed and depth I would like. (TBC)

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
