I have a disability, so I'm stuck where I'm at.



And what happens when they let you go?

I also have a slight disability. Are you saying there is no other place in the US where you can work? Not even remotely?


I'll probably just work at Walmart or something. There are very few opportunities in my area for tech jobs and remote isn't the best fit for me. My wife isn't open to moving either.


If you can actually work in an office, what does your disability have to do with not being able to get another job? I can’t imagine a disability where you are mobile enough to go into an office but limits your ability to get another job.

Especially if you can work at Walmart where you have to stand on your feet and move stuff all day.

For reference: I have cerebral palsy that for all intents and purposes affects mostly my left hand. But standing all day in a retail job day in and day out would be detrimental because of a slight affect of CP on my left foot.
