Tracy :
My doctor did everything but it wasn’t up to HR. It was up to my supervisor, not trained in HR

Betty Collins330 :
I had a WFH accommodation & filed a complaint due to my supervisor violating my accommodation. HR changed my job description and added essential duties that required me be in the office then said my accommodation was now an undue hardship. It’s been a year & I haven’t performed for one second the in office essential job duty that was added to my job description.

My boss tried to deny one day WFH after I had a tumor from my eye and a doctors note from an ocular plastic surgeon and had her bosses support. There’s no level of accommodations she would approve of. Does that mean I’m out of options?

I once had an employee that had her doctor write a restriction stating she couldn’t talk on the phone. We work in a call center…..

there is a difference between ADA covered accommodation, personal injury and work rated injuries. FMLA generally is unpaid too.

Melissa | ❌ 🧋🍸🐝☘️ :
A lot of managers say I can’t allow the work from home accommodation- everyone else will want to then! Guess what the EEOC doesn’t care about that. Each request has to be independent. Typically I will allow requests in intervals and ensure interactive process to keep renewing.

literally had my follow up meeting today and my WFH request under ADA was denied for the THIRD time and the only reason they are giving me is it's against company policy.

Well my old employer just told me to wear noise cancelling headphones as if I still won't be interrupted. I'm done

What if they offer you to apply for available positions instead of a work accommodation?

Even if they say the position is not remote?

My former job gave me such a hard time regarding this. They picked and chose who they let work fully remote.

What if they just claim it’s an essential duty even though there are zero job duties, meetings, or tasks that must be performed onsite and long distanced colleagues or colleagues at home are accommodated every single day with remote calls and cloud coworking?

I got denied a wfh ada accommodation despite having a full wfh setup in my house that I used for 5 years prior (3yrs full time, 2 hybrid) that they still require us to keep and use whenever it's convenient to them only(storm closures etc). I was told to just continue to use fmla intermittently and that otherwise I can be accommodated in office which they never explained how... now months later it's almost like I am being scrutinized for being out due to the fmla usage up to and including my manager questioning me on the floor within earshot of other employees about details pertaining to my condition that I disclosed in private. I've exhausted my fmla hours to only a little left, I asked hr to revisit my request as I am concerned for my job security over a month ago and was told the head of hr was looking into it and have heard nothing back... what now???? should I file with the eeoc?

Sadly, I had an RA for telework since 2018. My agency required a recertification. My telwwork was revoked, and now I work a stupid schedule. I work from home from 8 to 1030 then drive to work and work to 5. My job can be done fully remote. I have performance measures that show I am fully successful and often received performance bonuses. Im just done and plan on retiring.

I had to go thru this with an employee. Undue hardship is such a hard bar to clear.

I’m allergic to the cold (cold urticaria). My work refuses to let me wfh on days when it’s too cold for me to leave. 9 out of 10 times I go in and then call and ambulance for myself since they won’t let me have the day off either

Murphy’s Mom :
To your point the employee who influences their Dr. to say they can’t do XYZ might be listing the “essential functions of the job” which if they can’t be accommodated means they will lose their job. Example I had a guy who was hired TO LIFT & MOVE items for an event (only reason the temp job existed). Day one he shows up w a 5lb lifting restriction. Items exceeded 5 lbs couldn’t be made lighter. No accommodation for the job bc that was the job: Lifting.
