Pain meds and working

[Pharmacist.steve]

The "labor boards" are known for being "paper tigers"... they exist for the pure purpose to meet some regulation that they do exists.

With a medical issues... it should fall under the ADA and it was written with vague verbiage so that the courts could define what the act should entail.

The fines for violating the ADA can be quite draconian and all it takes is one over-eager attorney to go after making an example out of a employer to get the attention of the entire employer population... and typically they pick on the weakest of the lot... they are the easiest to slaughter.

This is one of the disadvantages of having an interview one on one or with everyone "on the other side of the table"... for it is easy for it to be said that there as a mis-understanding... or what you heard and not what I said... some similar cop-out to cover up a lie.

That's why I would consult a lawyer (assuming I was financially sound and getting ready to deal with a long term condition) and check where I stand with the law, and I understand it varies state to state in the US?

The reality is if you admit to medical conditions which have the potential to compromise your performance your application goes to the bottom of the pile, no matter what the size of the company you are applying for.

If it comes down to having a job and having no job... which would you prefer? If you can get a foot in being honest, then that's great. If that doesn't work, time for dirty tricks!
