Should i put i have autism on a walgreens application ?

panhead said:

Have you checked on that with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ? It sounds stupid when i say it but i worked for one of the worlds largest companies & handeled thousands of apps , our apps never asked specific questions like that , when i went thru the management training seminar on EEOC compliant hiring & applicant interview processes we were forbid to ask specific health questions naming specific diseases .

If it truly is legal for them to ask then i gotta believe its legal for you to refuse to answer truthfully without giving grounds for termination should they find out .

This is the kinda shit that ya get with Right to Work laws & union busting corps like wallgrees rite aid & wallmart , not trying to go off on a union/scab labor debate but this whole deal smells bad to me & reeks of discriminatory hiring processes .

Is there a spot where they ask if your a Nigger Spic or Kike ? Anybody else in this thread think this is wrong or have any inside info as to the legalities of the health questions ?

I have not been to England recently, so things might have changed. So, @Growan ; take an English pharmacy and make it 35-50 times larger. Fill it full of stuff, toothpaste and feminine products, then throw in about everything else you can think of. There is always one aisle full of whatever they sell at th next holiday and an aisle for things that have been seen on tv. Each one typically has about ten employees but they no longer work at the cash register as they are less trustworthy than most customers. About 10% of the store is pharmacy. The pharmacy workers and store workers are not allowed to speak and are sworn enemies.

Oh, the prices are somewhere between reasonable and ridiculous.

Overall, think of Dante's third level of hell.

So take about 1000 or two of them and scatter them around properties in most of the US. They are ruled by provincial overlords in both Deerfield, IL and some guy called Tim Hortons in the Arctic Circle. Recently they tried a tax dodge to avoid paying US taxes by reclassifying themselves as Canadians but the Canadians turned them down.

I'm filling out an application for Walgreen's and at the end of the application there is a section where it asks do you have any of these disabilities one of them is autism should I put a check mark in that box or will it hurt my chances of getting that job ?

I think you should. I would also scrawl something barely legible about loving cock. Nothing too big or that will stand out, just a little something for the person reading your application for the first time.

It was the most 'merican thing I could think of, other than, "would you like to supersize that?"

But you may be too young to remember supersizes.

Tell the hiring manager you have a gun too and if you're not immediately hired at a premium wage and with full benefits you're gonna ventilate his shirt. JK

Just check yes and if you see it's holding you back don't check it in the future at other companies.

In my experience, I wouldn't say most. Just some. The power goes to some peoples heads. I had some friends in the military turn into pricks when they made Sgt.

I don't know why you being artistic is such a big deal....They hired a damn 600lb cashiersaurus in my local wallgreens and if they'd hire her they would certainly hire a artist.......hey look.....if its on the app answer honestly.....I know how it is to have a terrible malady that you think may cause or keep you from gainful employment.....it happened to me. My first paying gig was in a upscale Steakhouse. I kept my disease secret until one day I could no longer stand the discomfort while standing at my work station which was silverware I ripped my shoe off and put my foot on the cool steel table and used a teaspoon to scratch my athlete's foot to the point where I finally received some relief.....by the time I realized what I was doing it was to late.... I was demoted to cook shortly thereafter.....!
