Subject= Re: OT-- unreal job ad

[Guest guest]

Sounds like a job description from the County of San Diego. Now this wouldn't

be in the Job announcement description that you will see in the job flyer or

newspaper, but the 'essential functions' as listed in the official job

description which can be pages long and only available on-line or at the HR

dept. Yes, I have seen office jobs with weights you have to be able to lift,

being able to walk, crawl and other physical requirements listed in jobs as

essential function, that must be a sideways attempt of avoiding job

accomidations, because they will use the official description to avoid making

accomidations. So, it is possible to end up with a job, come down with RA and

then be told you aren't able to meet the job requirements anymore. Sucks, huh?

And yes, it gets fought, and they lose, but it is there for the folks who don't

fight it.
