Presbyter -

You are not alone. My friend did not get a promotion he works for 13 years. His hearing partner works for one year, and got promoted. He was "hidden" pissed off. He is still looking for another job this year.

We work a different company. Our boss thinks that a relay service is a telemarket. We tried to explain it to our boss. They were a sort of pissed off. We stopped along with them. We had to fake being nice to them. I left my job for a reason - it has nothing to do with my boss.

I think I was told that 10 deaf employees can get a TDD. One deaf employee is impossible to get one.

That is interesting that you want to tell your employees about your rights about the TDD or the relay service. I did not think of it.

I am not so sure if it is a good idea to tell them about your rights. Your company might put your name on the black list - looking for another job that not able to be hired. That is kinda of scary. Many presidents of the companies don't give a shit about them because of ADA complaints in the past.
