3 job interview responses out of 4:

"We get so busy here we run! We run!(spoken in condescending voice with hand animation after hiding in his office, place was slightly larger than a closet)"

"We wouldn't want you to get hurt(spoken slowly and patronizingly, desk job)"

"You would have to take the stairs sometimes if the elevator was out of service(I took the stairs and made a point of telling them)"

I was hired at the fourth job where I am one of the most productive employees.

Few attorneys take "ADA violation" cases. So-called "Equal opportunity employers" do, in fact, discriminate illegally on the basis of race, disability, and age (especially older) workers/applicants. They find "more qualified" and determine "undue hardship" as regards to "reasonable accommodations". When people with disabilities do get employed, often it is for low pay in menial positions--and low hours, just to get a tax break. Sad, but true. :-(

sorry for hitting you with video responses. i put those to educate people on atrocities against disabled and handicapped by Nazis in the Holocaust in 1930's and 1940's when handicapped, disabled and sick people are hated and discriminated to the level that they're seen as burden on society in economic crisis like in Nazi Germany, to educate people of evils, cruelty and brutality of prejudice against them, what Nazis did and why social justice for these people must be a priority always. Eugenics.

Every person should be hired for any position regardless of talent, disability, or physical deformity, or I.Q. right? So,I hope you get a d- doctor to help you the next time you get hurt!

[ticks4ticks4]

@BJMr666 You do have a point. However, I think the point made is that "so few" individuals with disabilities are employed in ANY position--as compared to "non-disabled" individuals. Of course, not disabled people should be hired for any position. To use your example, I agree that Medical doctors with certain impairments would not be fit to examine and work with patients directly (but could --and do!---work in other capacities).

I'm handicapped and I've been looking for a job believe it or not about 12 years now. Business don't hire like they supposed to.

The reason the handicapped don't have many "mainstream" jobs is because THEY'RE FUCKING HANDICAPPED.

Wow,amazing point! yeah,like maybe Stephen Hawking has made a contribution to Society/Mankind maybe? ever heard of Helen Keller? a certain ex-President of the USA initials FDR? oh! but there NOT "mainstream"?Do you THINK they might have had to WORK to get somewhere? I work with "disabled" health problems can happen to anyone...

[BansheeSiren]

@ohpeum Some day you may be injured and end up with a permanant disability.  It is probably happening to someone just like you right now. The only thing thing funnier than you, or someone like you, dealing with life as a disabled person is how much you, or someone like you, will dispise yourself.

[AddisonBrooke]

@ohpeum why do u hate yourself so much? Sad, really.
