so, I'm on FMLA and my provider recommended working from home on my treatment days 3x/week and my employer denied it but last year an employee with a similar title and function was allowed to work from home a month straight. will that be considered in an eeoc claim?

Sometimes I question the HR person advising leaders on these matters. To me both cases where pretty basic and straightforward. It requires empathy, compassion, and common sense, and a good HR person to avoid repeating these mistakes.

I wish everyone understand that the law says each conversation /request must come on its merit and be a discussion. Leaders cannot posture to posture. It needs to be a conversation and what’s reasonable…not what bothers other employees, not what bothers leaders, etc. Also, the bigger you are as a company, the higher the bar. 👏 👏 👏

I requested to work from home after hip surgery and for accommodations when I returned in person, my employer acted like I was asking for the moon 😬 I still feel resentful towards them.

I’m HR and am very fair. However, I had to have a reconstructive ankle and foot surgery in late Oct. I was only able to do some weight bearing in the past 3 weeks. I’m not released to drive. I’m being pressured to come back into the office and feel my compensation and evaluation was impacted negatively because I’ve been working from home.

Just had to fight for travel FMLA/LWOP approval for an out of state appointment for an autism clinic meeting… it was denied, then had to cite law and resubmit the request indicating that denying travel days is a violation of my FMLA rights. Eventually, approved - but this fighting for what’s RIGHT is insane. Side note, USCIS employee… so they should know the laws

Companies are toxic and hostile if you asked for FMLA document everything in writing

I went out on leave due to an ectopic pregnancy 10 months into my employment & when asked about SSD they told me I didn’t qualify & 3 months later after my return when it was brought up to them again, they said I should of filed a claim. Misinformation back and forth

Unexpected Acts of Kindness :
What if I'm out on FMLA due to the stress my job has caused by pushing me out and moving me to 3 different departments and switching my work schedule from 9 - 5 to an overnight shift working 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM and later 12:AM to 12: PM...Along with so many other issues I have documented. While I'm out should I send HR an email questioning their targeting and retaliation? I don't want to return to the abuse.

I had 2 days WFH & scheduled changed. New boss had me go through the HR process for accomodations. Took 5 months to approve with no interaction during process. I emailed and they kept saying it takes time. They took away 1 WFH due to new work policy. Denied the noise cancelling hearing aids I requested because they were able to play music. I need dark noise to block the excessive noise. Was moved to a new area louder than I had before. My mental health and health got worst. I had to take 1 week PTO because they were taking long approving my accommodations. They changed my work schedule hours from what I had, which affected my dr appts/therapy. I had to self-accommodate my cubicle to face entry because I kept getting startled. One day, I had it and moved myself to a training room and my stress and mental health are slightly better, but now have chronic venous insufficiency. Truly need a new job 😭

My employer at the hospital wants me to call in and submit documents regarding FMLA, showing the dates I was absent. This is something new—they didn’t require this last year. Is anyone else’s employer asking for these documents?
