Panel A: A drawing of a person wearing a formal shirt. There is a halo above his head. Text: If you have a disability and you’re going for a job interview, you have to work twice as hard to convince your potential employer that you WILL be reliable. Panel B: Three check boxes, all with green ticks inside them and a ‘YES!’ beside them. Text: You WILL stick to the leave policy, you WILL come to work on time, and you WILL not let your disability get in the way of your work. (Even if it means holding your bladder all day because this company doesn’t have a toilet for your needs.) Panel C: The same person from top panel with their top button undone, looking sad. Text: Facing low-key (when you’re lucky) discrimination and doubt from potential employers is not only demotivating, but financially, socially, and personally harmful to people with disabilities.
