Treadmill desks.

I'm sorry, I don't follow. They are just saying they have treadmill desks that you can use. Not that all desks are treadmill desks. > Our conference room is made up of 4 treadmill desks that face each other so you can do a walking meeting while seeing a presentation, rain or shine.

If this is the entire conference room, and you are in a wheelchair, then you can't attend whatever occurs in that room. I imagine you won't be a very productive employee without being able to attend any meetings that occur in the conference room.

Can we get the HN title changed? It makes it sound like they are illegally discriminating but I see no evidence on the site.

There are plenty of words on the site that would set off klaxons for me, and IANAL.

Suggest an actual quote as the title then.

The HN title should be less sensational then the source material not more.

People, I think we’re missing some of the other buried gold here. Some highlights: We do a daily standup where we don't discuss why something is late. Instead we each spend 10 seconds on what we actually shipped today. So if I’m blocked on Jim, and Jim is shipping his own features and ignoring me, Jim looks good and I look bad. Cool, cool. A track record of success. We believe winners have always won. All candidates…

This is surely not true. They say they have 4 treadmill desks, and I suspect their conference room can fit more than 4 people.

This string is pretty disappointing for it's trolling tendencies. As an employee at HealthIQ we are a diverse team, 40%+ women, 40%+ minority and we strive each day to celebrate and reward the health conscious.

You can be disabled and still health conscious. Health consciousness is about maximizing your body's health potential - not sidestepping physical realities such as a disabilities. In fact I would say it is probably more important for disabled people to be health conscious than able bodied people - at least there are probably worse health outcomes for disabled people who are also not health conscious vs abled bodied p…

Can you be disabled and “able-bodied” though? I mean.. dis-abled... it suggests something else. Even if this is totally legal though, it’s still psychopathic levels of creepy and cultish.

They never mentioned able-bodied, so what are you quoting?

Good point, I took that from the title, which is clearly a conclusion drawn from the post, not actually in it.
