You’re doom scrolling LinkedIn in your soft office. An hour passes and you finally find a remote job. You click the posting. Over 100 applicants in 1 hour. Is it even worth applying? 

‍

Maybe, you think, it is remote after all. But what if you actually make it out of the stack of 100+ resumes, past the 5-round interview, and get the job? Once you’re there, will they let you make up work time when you need to take an hour every week for your therapy appointment? Will your mental health sick days count against your performance?

‍

The weight of past experiences with ableism, discrimination, or mental health stigma at work can feel like a crushing deterrent when applying for jobs.

1. A disability or mental health employee resource group (ERG)
