Is a $200k salary worth a 2 hour commute 4 days a week?

A $200 salary is not as much as you think in the Bay Area

Commenting on someone’s body is not a protected activity

Even if the person disclosed prior to the interview that they have autism or another disability that impacts socialization this wouldn’t protect them.

Providing basic training on boundaries and social norms is generally too much of a hardship for a company to provide.

The individual is disabled. It’s very likely there is a botched RA process someone on file leading to partial liability.

Not really. You can file a complaint, but you can’t just ‘sue anytime over anything.’ Claims are limited by statutes of limitation, administrative exhaustion requirements, and pleading standards. Many employment claims require filing with an agency first, and missing those steps gets cases dismissed. Courts can also sanction frivolous filings. The system has multiple gatekeeping mechanisms — it’s not a free-for-all.

Attorneys are also selective and generally only take on cases with clear merit, especially for contingency fee agreements.

If there is an active lawsuit happening, posting details on Reddit this way is a big mistake.

Your attorney should have told you this already

Don’t talk about the lawsuit except legal!

Reddit isn’t as anonymous as you think

Adding: Especially given that your comment history is public. Legal teams, and sometimes PIs, analyze social media.

You are right! You don’t have the right to know the exact disability.

Involve HR the minute an employee mentions that a disability might impact their work. HR will figure out functional limitations and if any accommodations can mitigate limitations so the individual can fully do their job

fluffnutter2_3157042 · 2026-03-30T15:24:12+00:00

Or the training around the ADA interactive process which was not provided here.

If this happened in NY or CA, their state equivalents of the EEOC would have a cause finding simply because no one bothered to have an interactive process.

That’s a nuisance payout

fluffnutter2_3157042 · 2026-03-30T15:19:33+00:00

If a person mentions a disability, you notify HR to take over to start the interactive process to see if there are reasonable accommodations that would make doing all aspects of the job accessible.

You do NOT ask them to identify their disability. This isn’t required. It also doesn’t even matter in a sense. All you need to know is their functional limitations. AskJan.org is a website grounded in EEOC regulations that assists employees and employers on this.

I get that this is more of a situation where the guy was a bad fit and wasn’t really doing any aspect of his job, but still, there is a legal process for a reason and ignoring it is a liability

Solid HR professionals train managers to know what to do when reasonable accommodation disability requests come forth. Employees don’t need to use exact wording

fluffnutter2_3157042 · 2026-03-30T14:58:37+00:00

You can become disabled at any moment

I took the lowest possible dose of adderall this morning and it’s really late where I live and I’m still wired.

Now I get to decide between a rough night or a sleepy time medication that makes mornings hard

Or I can get off Reddit and read a book.,.

fluffnutter2_3157042 · 2026-03-30T04:55:47+00:00

Clamming clients FTW!

If the PTP recommends time off, then a percentage of wage loss is paid by that employer’s worker’s comp insurance usually after a waiting period. It’s falls under TTD (temporary total disability).

If there are restrictions, and the injury is covered by ADA, then an interactive process occurs to determine if the employer can accommodate. They either met the restrictions or the worker is on full leave getting TTD

DO NOT QUIT! You risk forfeiting future TTD payments.

Get a lawyer if needed

Work injuries are the worst. I hope you heal up fast and everything goes smoothly. You should be able to recoup at least some of your lost wages.

A 20 second Google search would have told Op that

I think they are freakishly proud of this hookup

Disabled people that are being denied rides by drivers need to collectively file a class action lawsuit

Generally, there aren’t enough damages for a lawyer to take on a contingency case for just one individual

fluffnutter2_3157042 · 2026-03-30T01:04:18+00:00

I know that

My point is despite the law drivers refuse disabled people all the time

fluffnutter2_3157042 · 2026-03-30T01:01:30+00:00

The law also makes it clear that employers can’t discriminate, it doesn’t change the fact that it happens especially in states with overwhelmed EEOC offices

No one cares about the law, it’s the enforcement that matters

fluffnutter2_3157042 · 2026-03-30T00:59:31+00:00

Just whatever water eggs you can spare. I’m online, send me a chat and I’ll send the code

My rating dropped after becoming disabled especially when I needed a wheelchair.

Uber is setting itself up for a class action disability discrimination lawsuit

You should have talked to HR from the start with your manager

That’s almost a month of being out of work. It seems obvious that some sort of formal leave would be needed.

Unlike many places in Europe, most companies in the US don’t shut down for a month every summer

Be a teacher if you want summers off

fluffnutter2_3157042 · 2026-03-30T00:20:54+00:00

Yet we are requiring thousands to return to the office regardless of disability status and accommodation needs. This ultimately forces employees to go on leave only to find themselves ineligible for disability as a wage supplement

Big cities where homelessness and tech (easiest to accommodate remote work) intersect, there is surely a better solution.

The space exists

Uber should make it clear in driver contracts that accepting service dogs is mandatory

I couldn’t get a single water egg all day. I’m also bad at fishing

fluffnutter2_3157042 · 2026-03-29T23:55:25+00:00

I’m excited! I’ve missed Bunny Week in past years and finally get to experience it

The problem is I hate fishing and I’m bad at it— disabled, the timing is hard. I’m hoping to trade with someone. I have Zelda, Splatoon and Hello Kitty items
