My biggest takeaway from this was the ableist messaging:

“You cannot dangle what people need to effectively work in front of them like a carrot and subtly threaten to take it away. It’s ableist. You wouldn’t dare to do that with elevators or other accessibility features at the office, so don’t do it with that either.”

> You wouldn’t dare to do that with elevators or other accessibility features

This is only because there's usually legal protection for that kinds of accessibility features. If employers could legally, it would be way more common to threaten to take them away.

I have no doubt there are some that do so illegally.

It being legal doesn't stop it from being ableist.

You have “no doubt” that employers threaten to take away elevators?
