TikToker under fire after calling for workplace time blindness accommodations TikTok: chaotic_philosopher \/ Unsplash: Jon TysonA TikToker has found herself against a wave of backlash after posting a video asking for workers\u2019 rights to be taken into consideration and for time blindness to be accommodated. Time blindness is a term used to refer to the phenomenon of losing track of time and is often experienced by people with attention deficits. Speaking on the issue, pediatric behavioral health specialist Dr. Manos said, \u201cWe all can get caught up in something and get \u2018in the zone.\u2019 Some people with ADHD, though, are more prone to having difficulty being able to judge how long something will take to do or to lose track of time.\u201d Now, one TikToker has found herself facing backlash after sharing an experience in which she was yelled at for asking whether a job would make accommodations for time blindness. Going by \u2018chaotic_philosopher\u2019 on the platform, the TikToker posted a storytime-type video in which she expressed frustration at workplaces for not accommodating the needs of their workers. \u201cThey actually started yelling at me and saying that accommodations for time blindness doesn\u2019t exist and if you struggle being on time, you\u2019ll never be able to get a job [sic],\u201d chaotic_philosopher recounted through teary eyes. \u201cI\u2019m tired of workers\u2019 rights not being prioritized in this country,\u201d she captioned the video. \u201cAnd we\u2019re entitled for suggesting it should be different\u2026 I don\u2019t think so.\u201d But chaotic_philosopher\u2019s take was not met well, with thousands of comments mocking the TikToker\u2019s experience and thoughts on the matter. \u201cWhat\u2019s the difference between someone with time blindness and someone who just doesn\u2019t put in the effort to be on time?\u201d one commenter queried. Another said, \u201cBeing on time for work is a minimum requirement for most jobs. Unfortunately, that\u2019s an issue you must make accommodations for, not the business.\u201d However, chaotic_philosopher has stuck true to her beliefs, posting a second TikTok stating, \u201cWhen we can no longer have a civil discussion about a video with very little context it makes you wonder \u2018Is there even a future for our nation and what future is there to fight for?\u2019 Because arousing mass amounts of hate, judging people, making mass assumptions, and being stuck in a cognitive loop without even knowing it, and then doing exactly what the algorithms want, is seen as normal.\u201d It is worth remembering that everyone deals with time blindness at certain times and that some struggle more than others.
