Remember when I had to fill out a nine-page form for an employer so my patient could sit down in a chair on the job?

Well, they have provisionally granted his request, with the proviso that he adhere to an additional three conditions.

Jesus. Some corporate pencil pusher is living in mortar terror that an employee may actually sit down while he's working.

We truly have gone around the bend...

  Malaprop creation is the special skill of many DU members.

I'm going to guess that the justification form is double-edged lawsuit-resistance CYA for the dude's employer. If the accommodation is denied, the form hinders an ADA lawsuit; if the accommodation is granted, the form hinders a discrimination lawsuit from coworkers who did not merit or need a similar accommodation. I.E., the greed is lawyer-victimology-greed, not corporate greed
