In response to dilemna posted by redback:
you are attempting some sort of informal adhoc advocacy on behalf of the most affected person WITHOUT involving them. What action are you assuming the applicant is able to take/wants to take ... Would the deaf person enjoy working for an unethical company ...?

I'm glad you addressed these points, Red.

I'm sure you've heard the expression "no good deed goes unpunished"? From my life experience, there's often truth to it. Odd as it might seem, some folks object to others assuming an advocate role in their lives - even if that advocacy might benefit them, and is rooted in a just cause. This applicant may not appreciate the unsolicited interference, nor wish to pursue any action, but move on instead. If so, Stephen could be risking his good job for nothing. I'd hate to see that happen.

An afterthought. When I worked for an insurance agency, I often found sticky notes attached to unrelated papers - especially those in an expired or trash file. These notes have a strange way of 'migrating' from one piece of paper to another. Imagine if this applicant is not deaf, but somebody else was? The embarrassment and trouble because of misapplied note?

There are too many unknowns.

Who was the (bleep) who rescued it from the garbage they know it went into? Wouldn't they know you marked it as presumably you do the others?
.
Yep. The HR likely thinks somebody's after his/her job... somebody's rifling through files and trash to find something incriminating. Happens a lot in corporate offices. If (s)he's smart, (s)he'll be far more watchful, lock her desk and cabinets, and use the paper shredder. I always did, and still do.
