[quote=Anonymous]I am at an agency under DHS. So far, everyone I know who applied for an RA to remain remote has either been denied (or given alternative accommodation) or is still pending.

Two years ago I accepted a remote position, but likely would have stayed at my old job location if I had known we would be RTO 5 days a week. I am now spending nearly 3 hours a day commuting, and having a lot of difficulty managing several health conditions, with new health problems popping up directly as a result of RTO and 3+ hours commuting every day.

For the trolls, I have lived in the same place since 2015, did NOT move further out, and accepted a job that was fully remote, not just liberal telework during Covid. I am looking for a new job but not feeling optimistic due to the numbers. They are obviously trying to squeeze us out and if my teens were either younger or grown I would leave in an instant, but can’t do that now with them in HS and they have already suffered enough upheavals in the last few years.

Are telework RAs being approved at all? I applied for partial TW but was denied and from what I’m hearing from people is that they are denying or just keeping them pending for some reason.

Now that I’m experiencing worsening health, I want to apply again. I thought I was being smart to focus on one health issue with my first RA request, but now realize I may need to pull out all the stops and document ALL of them. But since I’ve already RTO they will be in no hurry to process it, that I know.
