Re: working and disability

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the post. Maybe I will try that with my fingers as they don't work

like they used to. It's so interesting because I used to be able to type like am

riot but even now people think I type fast but I don't type like I did in

colleege when it was nothing but paper after paper.

My hands got worse at a job where I had to hold my hands in a static positon

while I waited to type and we had non-stop calls. The company is big. A hotel

chain. I was going to file for worker's comp and immediately after got in

trouble for something that I didn't even do.

So while in the " bosses " office, they said to me. " Oh aren't you filing for

workers' comp. " and it was like, now I get it. If I complete this filing, I will

not have a job. It was terrible and to make things worse I was a new mom so I

really didn't want to lose thejob.

I guess this type of thing could happen to someone who doesn't have CMT.

Needless to say I didn't continue filing becauses I didn't want to lose my job.

Let's just sacrifice everything our health for jobs that suck in call centers

where you're overqualified anyway having a B.S. degree and 1 yr of Master's work

and 144 I.Q. Yeah, that seems like the right thing to do. Our culture is so

messed up. Unfortunately, if you happen to get some kind of disability, you're

really SOL
