Shameful treatment of #Black #Deaf employee #JalonHall by #Google. This company has more money than God; they can afford to provide world-class #accessibility and #accommodations. Not doing so (under the excuse of "confidentiality") is a deliberate choice.

I worked in TSCIF as a IT systems engineer and administrator a few years ago.
We couldn't hire several people because of hearing aids. For good reason, those devices can and did get used for remote connection to record classified information.
It is a huge risk in a location where you are trying to keep data private.
Google is trash city and they can definitely pay for a secure hearing aid but they do have a valid reason.
The article discusses the use of human interpreters though, not hearing aids.
