The blog with no name

There are two websites that ask for a visit, both of them are quite famous so I probably don't say anything new but I find this kind of artistic optical illusion quite fascinating.
The second websites require a lengthy visit, it is the 99 rooms with literally 99 rooms to explore. I would call it interactive art with a post-modern flavour, very absorbing.

More than four-fifths (82%) of the callers said their employers failed to make reasonable adjustments that would keep them in work, and almost a fifth reported having been dismissed. A further 13% of callers complained of facing threats of dismissal, and nearly 6% of callers were facing disciplinary action.

Among the callers was a woman dismissed from a major high street retailer because she could not give a date to return to work after her radiotherapy treatment finished.

Another caller who had breast cancer said the security firm she had worked at for 19 years told her she was a "bad investment" because she needed more time off for reconstructive surgery.

And a care assistant in a residential home who wanted to return to work after having breast cancer said she had instead been asked to resign and subsequently received her P45 in the post.

This comes from the Guardian and it's about today's story about people being discriminated at work because of having cancer.
One of the reasons given for this discrimination is that employers are not aware of the recent changes in the law. Somehow I find it hard to believe and in any case it is the employers responsibility to keep updated about changes in employment issues and that was hardly a secret anyway.
The other thing is that while it's hard for anyone with a job it's even harder for someone that wants to return back to work after a major illness. I've been quite ill and I don't think that employers will rush to my door after seeing my recent medical history. I know that they are not supposed to discriminate but how can I prove that I'm discriminated against unless they tell me? I can see their point of view, employing someone who might get ill again is a gamble and might not be cost-effective. They are businesses after all they have to make money, that's the game. What I fail to understand is the government's determination to send back to work people on incapacity or disability benefits and their carers. Yes good idea in theory but I don't think that there will be many businesses willing to do it. I hope I'm wrong. Just a short rant.
