At least here in my country it’s a medical tribunal that tells you if you’re disabled or not, and even tells you how disabled you are with a percent. It’s an easy question with an easy answer.
The author knows they can legally answer yes, but is considering whether it is worth it to answer yes.
I think this is a pretty good writeup on how disabilities are dealt with in society. For myself, I'm bipolar. I've had significant difficult my entire life but I didn't know why until recently. Being bipolar has a severe impact on every aspect of my life. In relation to work, it's just painful. I need accommodations to handle a 40-hour work week. I need a regular schedule. I can't be on-call during the night because…
I don’t come out and say that I’m bipolar, but I do make it known that I have chronic mental health stuff that I need space to deal with sometimes. I also have hypomanic periods where I’m incredibly productive, and I think that helps smooth over relations with co-workers and bosses because when I’m good, I’m really good. When I’m bad I need space to sort it out and clear expectations of what I need to get done from a work standpoint.
Consulting works well because you kind of manage your own time, work is delivered in teams (at least in my world,) and if you can manage your client relationships well it smooths over a lot of bumps. If you work for a good company that gives you space to be a flawed human, you can make it work.
The pandemic has actually helped quite a lot; I no longer have pressure to go hang out with a bunch of people drinking when all I want to do is sleep. As long as I show up to meetings and communicate about what I can and can’t do it works out for me.

Why don't you just live in the parking lot? 4 hours is insane
Parking lot? A truely motivated employee who cares about his job will sleep on a bedroll stored neetly under their desk. Mobility is only an issue for those slackers who choose to spend time away from the office. (I say this as i, in all honesty, will be sleeping on a couch at work this christmas. Im in the military. There are some few jobs that require literally sleeping in your office and i was just volunteered/vol…

There is such a bias towards regularity, I feel like an alien when trying to question why we should care. I had a coworker that might have been bipolar as well but didn’t really explicit it, and we felt we shouldn’t dig. In a week to week basis work was done. We were a team of 7 so someone being on or off at a given time had little impact, hell any member could be warped into another project for 3 days and come back…
Who the hell knows when they're going to be sick? I've never heard of such a thing.

There's no bunks where it requires that?
This reminds me abouts Kubecon Europe 2020's survey which had questions like: "what's your race", and "what's your gender". As a European, this was a huge WTF moment (my co-workers had the same moment). Why would you ask something like that ?
My guess is they have to meet some minimum diversity quota among attendees.

Maybe I'm just mixing up stuff I don't know.
If I remember correctly the reasoning behind it was quite ugly; he couldn't stand people who drank those alt milks, because he thought them as rich people pretending to be intolerant, and it was some kind of pity revenge.
But unfortunately (?) most of the time this applies: Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.
Probably shouldn't've watched so many Gordon Ramsay videos about what could go wrong in the kitchen in mismanaged restaurants..

Lots of stuff work that way, and we have a limited capacity, and tolerance to try which is useful, and which is just an "everybody does it like that" fad.
