Ask HN: How does your company approach hiring diversity?

Have some crippling disabilities. Result of some minor stokes and other clots. But with flex time I can be highly effective. Like 10x programmer type. But I have days were I can’t get out of bed at all.

Last job forced me out since I couldn’t commit to being in office 100%

Most Every job I apply for asks if you have a disability. If I say yes or decline to stAte. 100% chance I get passed on. Weeks later job still open. If I say no Disability then a good 50-75% call me. My skill set is awesome and in demand.

Highly frustrating

Every job I have applied for asks if I have a disability (I believe it is a requirement for reporting purposes here in the US). I routinely decline to state (because I do not know what an accurate answer would be), and am not aware of that ever causing me to be rejected.
