I'm trying to find other opportunities as a research associate; however, I am disabled and I never know if I should disclose my disability. Its visibly present but has never hindered my ability to do tasks in a lab. Can anyone give me advice as to if I should disclose the application?

I have an obvious physical disability. I’ve always disclosed because it’s very obvious. Has it hurt my chances a few times? I think so, but it’s impossible to prove. Choose whatever you are comfortable with. There’s risk involved, but the only way we eventually increase disability visibility is by disclosing.

Yeah, I appreciate this advice. It's also difficult because I'm latinx and disabled. My disability doesn't prevent me from doing the work, but it is very visible, and it's hard to know if, because of that, I would be seen as a liability. Therefore, it is undesirable from a hiring standpoint. But thanks! It helps to know I'm not alone

Never disclose disabilities on applications. If it’s obvious and you want to discuss it at the interview so you can explain how it doesn’t effect your job and how you already know how to work safely with it, therefore it’s not a liability, then that’s fine. Recruiters/HR get so many applications you don’t want yours tossed in the trash because of something that isn’t actually an issue.

Anyone else stuck in a job because they don't want to lose maternity benefits?

This was recently posted in a thread I was commenting on. “It frustrates me to read people’s messages from states with very few cases to act like the virus is nothing to those of us whose states have a 100k.” Syntax aside, the meaning is clear—if you are from a small state, you should zip it.
