So many employers (and people in general) have this pervasive attitude that disabled people are lazy or we’re somehow trying to “game the system.” Or they think making an accommodation will be super disruptive. It doesn’t have to be. Working from home is an accommodation that allows more severely disabled people to actually earn a living. The pandemic has shown it can be done successfuly in many jobs, even in the middle of a global existential crisis (!), so there’s really no excuse to stick with the butt-in-seat mentality in jobs where it’s not necessary.

My Agency had one of those no-overtime-for-people-on-light-duty policies. A class action lawsuit was filed. Years later, it’s still going on, and the amount of time, money, effort and other resources expended in the process is astronomical and continuing to grow.
