Can you better define warning? Was it worded as a warning, or was it a coaching? Regardless, contact HR and tell them you have a disability. Explain your concern that your manager might not have a pr...

No, because using that remote is optional. I see what you're getting at though - video game controllers aren't especially easy for some people to use. There are accessibility options. But yes, mo...

Don’t let your stuttering hold you back. We’re in 2022 and there are many other methods of communication other than oral, such as textual platforms like IM and email. I’ve got a very severe stutter my...

I ended up in the military then in a trade with the government. Depending where you live there are protection and accommodation rules. I have to prove myself over and over but eventually, people sta...

I'm not sure where you live or what the regulations for employment are in your place of residence. But I'm going to echo the exact same thing many others on this forum have suggested. Which is to find...

I second this, if only because fighting someone can lead to cops getting called, which can mean lawyers (expensive), and so on. Even if nothing comes of it, it's still a stressful process....

If they give you a hard time - there’s always the student accessibility service you can go to and they’ll help you address it. Never had it go to this point but always good to know just in case. :)...

In the UK it’s a “disfluency” which is a massive kick in the balls since there’s a very obvious difference between a lisp and a block that last 5 seconds. Edit: “disfluency” means it’s not a “disabil...

I don't think its legal for companies to discriminate you based on your stutter. Unless the job says "amazing communication skills", as long as your meet their engineering demands, the ADA backs you u...

While firing you for something like this is most likely illegal in the US, a word of caution. You weren't very clear on whether or not it was explicit that they fired you *specifically* for stuttering...

What the fuck? Honey find somewhere that specifically seeks out people with disabilities to hire as apart of their "quota" to fill for tax credits. You deserve SO much better, Buffboy. Btw, great user...

As hard as it might be, OP, you might be morally obligated to fight this and report them. If employers think they can get away with it, they will continue to do it. Consider this a learning opportunit...

Definitely discriminative and definitely not ok. That’s basically firing someone just because theyre deaf or some other disability. Try to take it up to court or report them to the government(the us d...

This is not acceptable behavior of your employer. First, make sure what the law is, (so do your homework) contact Union, centre for discrimination/diversity/inclusion or equal in your country. (if ex...
