There are no desk jobs. I work at a library, and her job is to shelve books. That's it, nothing else. The "desk job" she's been assigned by the library manager is one that I am 90% sure she'll not be able to complete successfully.
The library manager prides herself on having people like this lady on staff. Unfortunately no one else is proud of that when they have to work harder to cover the slack left behind.
And yes, if the manager had to deal with her one-on-one, she'd see that there isn't a chance of this lady ever being able to shelve again (she's using a four-pronged cane to get around, just down from a walker, it is). *sigh* It's so frustrating.
The HR director did say she would talk to our lawyers, so I'll have to be sure she does it.
