&gt; In many situations, companies will try to accommodate people who are having issues of whatever sort<p>That&#x27;s probably because it&#x27;s easier and cheaper to accommodate people to an extent rather than replace them.  Think about how little tolerance minimum wage food service jobs have for peoples&#x27; personal life.  That&#x27;s because you can literally replace those people off the street and a brand new employee is extremely productive relative to an experienced employee in a very short time.  None of those things are true in a professional environment.
