Happy #screenshotsaturday, better late than never. 🥳

Started blocking out the GUI parts of Staff hiring over the weekend. Thankful it wasn't too much work as the GUI system is written in #lua and #xml.

#multimall is starting to finally feel like a cohesive experience instead of a janky pile of debug menus.

In other news my lines script as seen in some of my other posts now produces a fun little graph.

Headline: The Trump Administration Has Made 150 Million American Workers Newly Vulnerable to Workplace Discrimination

Source: Center for American Progress

From the article: "Essentially, all employees and job seekers, a total of approximately 153 million Americans, benefit from the protections the EEOC provides. The Equal Pay Act—a law requiring equal pay for equal work that the EEOC enforces—covers virtually all employers, while other laws enforced by the EEOC apply to all but the smallest employers. Whether they work in the private sector or for the government, practically all employees and those applying for jobs are protected by the EEOC against illegal employer actions" (Annotations removed for clarity)

Companies are increasingly strategizing on how to reduce all kinds of bias in the workplace, including those related to disabled people. Despite empirical evidence to the contrary, perceptions remain that disabled employees are less competent, less productive, require more supervision, and are more expensive and more dependent, which results in lower levels of both employment and promotion.

However, disabilities are not a single entity, nor is the bias uniform across people or situations. For example, research suggests that disabilities categorized as “invisible” (including psychological and neurological) encounter more stigma than “visible” disabilities (such as amputations and paralysis). Although there has been a growing awareness and conscious effort to destigmatize mental health disabilities in recent years, tremendous bias still exists with consequences for employment, income, and levels of stress. In addition, research suggests that disabled women face even harsher penalties.

While disability studies often focus on bias at the level of employment or promotion decisions, the lived experiences of disabled employees also involve biases on the job. One context in which this can unfold is in professional negotiations.

Harvard Business Review · Research: The Stigma Disabled People Face During NegotiationsThe prototypical image of a successful negotiator is someone who is competent, confident, and in control — characteristics that are not always readily applied to disabled people.  Two researchers wanted to understand if disabled people are more stigmatized in an intense job task, such as a potentially contentious, price-based negotiation. And if so, is this stigma more pronounced for women and/or those with an invisible disability? They had 2,000 people complete an online experiment where they read a transcript of a negotiation involving an employee named “Alex,” who they rated on integrity and competence. The experiment varied the presentation of Alex as a male or female, as well as with no disability, a visible disability (seated in a wheelchair), an invisible disability (described as episodic epilepsy), or an invisible disability (described as bipolar disorder). They found that those who saw Alex as male with a visible disability rated him as having more integrity and competence than any of the other versions — an effect that disappeared when Alex was a woman. When Alex was described as living with bipolar disorder, the male version was seen to have less integrity, while the female version was perceived as both having less integrity and seeming less competent. Their results speak to the extra burden of discrimination faced by those with mental health disabilities, especially for women who seem to face the “double bind” of the intersection of stigmatized categories.
