i was never conscious why job postings emphasized "must be able to lift 20 lbs" for office jobs til someone pointed out it's a tactic to discriminate against disabled people
now it's all i see

When you ask someone on a desk job to be able to "lift and carry 20 lbs" it's not because it actually is a basic requirement of the job, it's because you find the idea of a disabled person doing that job onerous/inconvenient for reasons unrelated to the job itself

Yeah, i mean, i worked as a temp for years, meaning i worked in probably at least 50 different offices all told? And there was ONE gig where actually regularly moving heavy shit was for real part of the actual job.
