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?

    Facilities teams

    Don’t they need to read the instructions for the cleaning supplies? Especially because those are industry strength and would most likely need to be diluted?

    Auto body shop work

    Same here. Read und understand car manuals and safety stuff.

      I work in an organization where many of our facilities staff are immigrants, and completely illiterate (even in their own language). So, no. They need a facilities director/supervisor/building manager to guide them in their roles.

      Same for auto body shops, as long as you’re working on vehicles before a certain year, you can learn all you need to know an be effective in your role.

        Auto body workers still need to read. Try mixing Bondo without being able to read measures or weights. How about determining which box contains the proper replacement part?
