Accessibility fail at work.

I have spinal stenosis and have to use a cane or sometimes a walker to ambulate. When I asked my employer to install automatic door openers, at first they argued, then when they agreed, it took them 4 months to install them. The problem is, they installed the door openers on two inside doors and none on external doors.

Ass-hats, if I can't get into the building, then the ones inside the building do not help me!

Oh, and their idea of further accommodations? Go on disability leave so we can terminate you.

I'm going to have fun raking them over the coals when I talk to the EEOC.

OMG yes. I've managed to get door openers on the small subset of the doors around here, but not actually on the door to my office. The idea of further accommodations? Knock so we will let you in.
