[NABS-L] Job seekers

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Hello:
Part of working with any company is dealing with accessibility issues 
and working on fixing them. This happens with every company I've worked 
with, regardless of the company and/or size. I also think it's important 
that we step back and understand what discrimenation is, because I would 
argue that lack of accessibility is not discrimenation based on how it 
was handled. For instance, did you specifically ask for an accommodation 
or propose solutions for said accommodation?

I would warn you to be careful how and what you do on the internet. 
Linkedin is a very important place for recruitment, and trashing a huge 
company because they were not accessible without more background 
information is going to raise flags for any HR person.

I'm not saying you're wrong to be upset; I'm not even saying that you 
weren't actually discrimenated against. What I am trying to convey 
however, is the point that one company isn't going to make or break you, 
and you have a lot of tools in your toolbox before you shout 
discrimination from the rooftops, and you should make use of them. 
Beyond that, keep in mind your internet persona; your bad review on 
Linkedin isn't going to hurt a company that size; the only person that 
will be hurt as a result is you and only you, when future employers 
and/or recruiters find your Linkedin. DO not use it like yelp.
