Farideh:
It might also get her fired. Not being able to talk properly stops her from interacting with customers (although that might be an improvement, given her potty mouth). Well, off to Union Robotics they go. Hopefully Bubbles can fix May.
Gnabberwocky:
...Worrying how accurate pretty much all of those poll options were.

Quite a lot of May's issues wouldn't fly if she was an organic. She lost a goddamned arm, and now she's suffering from some unholy combination of tourrettes and selective mutism. I assume her boss isn't so skeevy as to have failed to withhold her taxes, so she should qualify at the very least for some form of temporary disability, and whatever 'living wage' would be paid out for an organic could be applied directly to effecting actual repairs since, psychological blocks and foibles aside, AIs are remarkably easier to heal than organics.
Farideh:
It has also been shown that the system is prejudiced against ex-cons, and I doubt that May would be eligible for any compensation. Heck, if that was the case, then she should be able to get a new body without too much fuss. After all, an upgrade is cheaper in the long run than continuous repairs to keep a crappy chassis going.
Probably her boss gets some sort of compensation for being part of a 'reintegrate ex-con AIs back into society' scheme. So May probably won't get fired, but she might get her pay docked because of her issues.
Tova:
So, Murphy's Law would stipulate that the urgency of her chassis situation would escalate at the very moment that they have this conversation.
Maybe this new development will strengthen her case?
