5. And some could work....

If companies would hire them, and provide the necessary accommodations. During a short time when I was nominally a supervisor, on of the people who reported to me was totally blind. Because the company would not provide the equipment and software he needed to do his job, he worked from home and bought it himself.

But our manager firmly believed that if she could not watch someone working, they were not working. I was in contact with him daily, and I knew his work, which was excellent. Still, he was let go, not because he couldn't do the work, but because our manager could not bring herself to believe that he was doing the work.
