Actually being disabled should give you some protections. Companies are required to work within your disabilities if you are still able to perform your job. However it's very _COMMON_ for company's to just fire someone who is disabled and hire someone else who can do the job without needing a babysitter. Most people don't see a problem with this until it's their child; then they will be angry. Lastly normally when a good company fires you go because of downsizing or problems that employee is given an exit bonus. Sure it might not be a lot; maybe a months salary. Might not happen for everyone. Lastly we need to be real about the problem of loosing your job and getting back on your feet. Those of you (like me) who get right back up and get a job the next day or next week... I congratulate you. It's hard. Those of you who don't understand; you should try having over 100 different jobs before you are 23. Really fucks with your self esteem.
