Time, a concept so integral to our lives, governs our routines, deadlines, and aspirations. Yet, for some, navigating the ever-ticking clock isn’t as seamless as it seems. Enter the intriguing debate surrounding “time blindness”: an alleged condition that affects individuals’ perception and management of time. But is it a legitimate neurological quirk, or merely a misunderstood notion?
Recently, TikToker Sarah (@chaotic_philosopher), shared a story about being yelled at for bringing up “time blindness” during a job interview.
“So I just got yelled at for asking a very reasonable question.”
“I’m applying to go somewhere, and I just wanted to know, are there accommodations for people who struggle with time blindness and being on time, you know? And then the person I was with interrupted and acted like I was asking something else.”
“When we were done, they actually started yelling at me and saying that accommodations for time blindness doesn’t exist. And if you struggle with being on time, you’ll never be able to get a job. You know, provided you’re trying your absolute best to be there. And then they’re like, ‘your stupid generation wants to destroy the workplace.’”
“I think that a culture where workers are just cut off because they struggle with being on time when there’s other solutions that we can look to. I think that just anybody who thinks it’s okay to just treat people like that, yeah, that culture needs to be dismantled. And then I ask that person, ‘how can you feel good about yourself upholding this kind of system?’ And then to think I’m entitled, no. If people think it’s okay to treat others like this, that’s entitlement.”
@chaotic_philosopher I’m tired of workers’ rights not being prioritized in this country. And we’re entitled for suggesting it should be different… I don’t think so. #workersrights #employeerights #workers #capitalismsucks #capitalism #thesystemisbroken #fyp
