Hypothetically, if a colleague has repeatedly demonstrated the utter lack of reading comprehension skills (like pulling the same door labelled “push” for the hundredth time), what job could one suggest for them where this “disability” wouldn’t be detrimental?
If it’s a legitimate issue of illiteracy there are companies that rely on illiterate workers and workers with other special needs to legally shred their sensitive documents. It’s amazing for both sides. It takes the concern for privacy off the table and gives a person a job, money, and a sense of purpose that they otherwise might not have.
In an age where most information is digital there are still a lot of industries that rely on paper and for sensitive information and sometimes that paper needs to be shredded. Legal documents, HIPAA standards in the US, and trade secrets are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
kinda sounds weird from the outside since you cant proove you cant read. could just pretend
Since being able to read makes you unable to voluntarily suppress reading (at least in my experience), surely there is some way to prove that.
Edit: Considei the well-known task where you see names of colors and you have to quickly say the color of the font itself (which is different from the color written).

Fair point. But, medically and developmentally speaking there are people with a lower mental capacity that literally can’t read. The entire adult care industry exists for a reason. Those people need something to do so they don’t simply waste away.
