@talon @jscholes At my workplace, there is a whole thread of discussion around "when to disclose" your disability status. I always found this a very strange thing to talk about, that opting to pretend to the world like you are fine and don't have a problem is the normal, default setting. Must be nice!
@objectinspace @talon @jscholes I spent so much time working fully remotely for part of my career when I was strictly doing freelance that folks would often go a year or more with out knowing I was blind until they eventually met me in person where there was no way to hide that
@tjolsen @objectinspace @talon @jscholes can confirm. Most clients never knew. Sadly with the rise of Teams meetings I have to disclose a lot more than I used to because someone would inevitably screen share!
@bermudianbrit @tjolsen @objectinspace @talon @jscholes Most of my clients don't know, but every time someone new comes onto one of my teams as a new teammate I have to disclose because two of the systems used aren't accessible.
@bermudianbrit @objectinspace @talon @jscholes yep the rise of screen share has required me to more consistently disclose now that I'm back to freelance but sometimes I do just play along if it's something that I can fake it with. Part of me feels guilty or lesser for doing that but ultimately I often just don't have the bandwidth to deal with the tangential conversations around it.
@tjolsen @bermudianbrit @talon @jscholes This is wild to me. I always disclose, immediately. Or as soon as it becomes relevant. Which is usually pretty soon. I guess it depends on what it is, like for voicework it doesn't matter. But for most things.
