Webexplorer, you can't believe she called her boss?
Get this:
In 1999, I worked at Royal Dominin Securities - Head Office Toronto, three different departments, my title was "Data Entry and Filing Clerk", I did NOTHING but file, I loved it because of the people and deparments I was in,
THEN I was moved into the Human Resources Dept, 1st day I walk in, the papers to be filed are almost up to the ceiling (high ceiling).
(Now I'am wondering who stacked them, and how they added papers when they reached that high)??
I was chatting with everyone, one girl in Payroll got her job out of highschool, on the job training, as with a few girls in the Treasury Dept........
The HR Consultant (who I had an information interview with through the help of the Ontario March of Dimes) wanted to hire me temporairily (just part-time) as a receptionist., BUT she had to get the okay first from her higher up, but wouldn't tell me who this was?
I don't have ANY problems on the phone, as long as the volumne control works!
Days later, I found out someone else got the job full-time permanently (who ain't even there anymore) and she was a receptionist at an insurance company 2 weeks before, and starting her 1st year taking the HR course at the College way north of her new working location, so she'd get off early on certain nights!
Well, the HR Consultant KNEW how interested I WAS in taking the HR course TOO!
1 or 2 weeks later while filing a piece of paper (almost finished everything) my hand wouldn't open, left for the nurses office next door. She watched in disbelief as I took 5 minutes to open my hand.
No report files, because I was a temp. worker hired by RBC-DS, that's when my tendonitis started, and why I can't do normal adm. work or data entry!
And after when I slowly filed the remaining papers, they didn't have 1 single job for me anywhere in the company!
I still feel like filing a Discrimination suit against them, but everyone says, "how can you prove"??????
THEN 3 years later, had the *PERFECT* interview with Royal Trust, it was *PERFECT*, but because I mentioned my tendonits (would need a type of mouse to assist my work in emailing out mail to people / the job description......................perfect job! And just because I mentioned to them about my hearing loss (would require a phone with volumne control...........................they told Kelly Services who sent me for the interview with Royal Trust, that:
"She was ALWAYS talking about her health"................?????
So they got scared, and discriminated, because we talked about tonnes, and the ONLY health topics I mentioned were the two above because I knew I was perfect for the job and the job was perfect for me.
In a BIG city, believe me - you DEFINATELY get more discriminated!
And can you believe the Ontario March of Dimes wouldn't let the Royal Bank hire me, even if they phoned to hire me through them, because it might hurt me,
and I spent 1/2 hour telling them WHY it wouldn't, and why it was perfect for me, aside from the fact I had the job before and the same problem before with my hand and it DIDN'T affect me, and the ON. March of Dimes wanted me to go on Disability instead - because they thought that would be better for me,..........................and why? because of the few little side-effects from taking "Paxil" in 1999-2001 for anxiety which a social agency that helps HOH and Deaf people recommended me to take!
The irony and the bullshit is beyond belief!
AND THEN:
When you need a lawyer (but don't have thousands of dollars) you require applying for Legal Aid (which only assists in some particular cases), according the the rules, and laws and regulations of ALL "those gov't agencies created long ago by mankind to help the people"
So my thought is: okay, so if mankind created these laws and agencies to help the people, and I'am just created by God, and one of the caretakers of this planet, (even though I don't have a PHD, or damage people with war or drugs) why do I need to abide by these stupid laws, if it's up to the people to change the laws for the current times?
And seriously when you ask lawyers and CEO's about this, they are still playing and repeating the old tapes from their mouths, we can't do that because ..... and ...... and .......
So what? It's all Bullshit! Do it for the people to change and make the world better! WAKE-UP!
A lot of interviewers shouldn't turn down the people with hearing impairment, they can show them what they can do, put them in trial on to see if it is suitable for them, it will satisfy them enough.
