I have a few questi...Thank you for posting this! <br /><br />I have a few questions:<br /><br />When I accepted a conditional offer, I disclosed on the EOO Voluntary Disclosure Form that I am disabled. The corporate recruiter, who was with me while I filled out the paperwork, told me not to check the box unless I needed accommodations and proceeded to give me examples such as refilling oxygen tanks or administering insulin.<br /><br />I explained that I have an invisible disability and, from how the job was presented, the accommodations that I would need were already met due to the nature of the job.<br /><br />She proceeded to securely destroy the form and provided another, telling me to not check off the box because "it will just create more paperwork."<br /><br />Today I accepted a firm offer of employment. Should I officially disclose accommodations that I need even if the job already meets the requirements? What should I do if they refuse to acknowledge my disability again?Marvelous Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546058286694201004noreply@blogger.com
