DeafDigest - 03 May 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - May 3, 2021 -- deaf person as Chief Accessibility Officer A newspaper interviewed Jenny Lay-Flurrie, who is deaf, discussing her role as the Microsoft Chief Accessibility Officer. The story emphasized that Microsoft is one of the few companies that has a Chief Accessibility Officer, especially a deaf officer. If few, are we saying that Walmart, Amazon, CVS Health, ExxonMobil and others (while having deaf employees) lack a Chief Accessibility Officer?   -- a deaf installer of electrical power lines Kevin Anyira, who is deaf, is an installer of electrical power lines. It is a dangerous job which requires physical challenges. DeafDigest does not know if there are other such deaf installers of power lines elsewhere. He works for the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (Kenya, not USA).   -- no purpose for an interpreter Interpreters serve no purpose, especially during Covid-19 press conferences! This was what the United Kingdom government said. This is the reason why this case is a hot, hot issue in the British court system. Keep in mind the past White House would not provide interpreters during Covid-19 press conferences.   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 05/03/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
