[nfbmi-talk] Job Opening - Central Office Receptionist

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hello, 

Both of my secretaries who I hired were totally blind and Vicki was MCB's
receptionst for many years and Lucy now does fill-in duties there when the
regular person is unavailable.  So, rather than discourage blind people from
applying by making negative statements, I recommend that we encourage lots
of blind people to apply and then force them to deal with us.  We will never
win by giving up before we start.

Warm Regards,

Fred

I think they might tell you that any accommodations are: "an undue hardship 
oradministrative burden". This is really the Michigan Commission Against the

Blind!

This said and from past experience the only requirement for this position is

to be snotty and condescending to all people and especially blind people.

That was the stance and attitude of the last full time receptionist at MCB.
