"Though she’s still looking to pursue work in the corporate world, she feels it’s her responsibility to set appropriate expectations with her manager and ask for any accommodations she needs. But, at the same time, she’s scared about being stigmatized, and having her disabilities weaponized against her if she discloses them to jobs in the first place. " This article is a great look at how the standard narrative of career progression and our current hustle culture often excludes disabled people and how the universal need for rest and recovery is punished in our workplaces, disproportionately affecting those with disabilities and chronic illnesses. We reward those that work overtime, skip breaks, and are always on call, encouraging people to sacrifice their rest and their health for their work. This not only sidelines those who can't work at that pace - denying them crucial career progression opportunities, but also sets up a culture of overwork and burnout that ends up costing our workplaces so much more than creating an environment where our teams know they can rest. Thanks to ANDPA - Alliance for Neurodiversity and Disablity in GLAMR Professions Australia Inc for including this great read in their newsletter!
