You are in no position to be fussy. As pointed out by the above posters, few reasonable companies would be interested in hiring you due to legal liability. Either you lie by omission to get a job to put food on the table, or you continue to be prideful and starve. Simple straightforward advice. Lie your rear end off.

Pryor on Fire posted:All this discussion about what is and isn't a lie and what the law says is really a horseshit collegiate waste of time, this person is blind and some advice around how to help someone get a successful career with that in mind seems like a better tack. I don't have any advice mind you, but all this jerking off over phrases and their definition like fine wine is just trying to wish away the elephant in the room. Because the OP has 2 disabilities and we are trying to help him. The OP has a physical disability that we cannot help him with. The OP also has a mental disability of excessive honesty and we are helping him by letting him know that being completely honest is going to cost him the job and a livelihood. If he listen to this thread, then his chances go way way up.

Slightly Used Cake posted:I just FEEL like people would respond in a lovely manner. Of course they would!!! What the gently caress. How would you feel if your boyfriend told you he has AIDS *after* you two had (protected) sex? It is not about whether they will feel betrayed. Being humans, they (likely) would. The point is that no company would realistically hire you if you were completely honest. As I said, lie your rear end off if necessary. You can have your dignity/honour or you can have food on the table. You are in no position to be picky. Hint hint. There is a reason why the other posters keep harping on you having a legal right against retaliation. It is because we all rightly agree that many companies would likely want to retaliate. People like you piss me off. You (rightfully) want to have a job, but you are not willing to face the challenges in getting one. Come on, life is tough, especially for the disabled (sincerely). But you just need to man up and do what needs to be done. Jesus. John Smith fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Feb 5, 2017 |

Slightly Used Cake posted:Words... Exactly. You come in here looking for honest advice, and jerks like Uncle Enzo are filling you up with bullshit. Of course you hope that people are compassionate and have a heart. But in the real world, people usually/often do what is convenient and good for themselves. Uncle Enzo is the equivalent of you having cancer, and he tells you that he hopes you will get better (totally fine) and therefore no need for chemo (complete idiot). You hope things go well, but you ***still*** plan for the worst. You lie your rear end off to get that job, then you worry about the retaliation (which may not even happen).
