[Job-Discussions] Questions about accessibility for a job that I applied and got

[Danielle Ledet]

It has been my personal experience that the software needed to work in
a call center environment is inaccessible. I tried working with TTEC
and another company I can't remember and it wasn't and they didn't see
willing to make it so. Some also work on platforms outside of Windows.
