[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, I felt the same a few years back when a colleague kept missing work because of her young kids, and all her responsibilities fell on me. I checked myself because I worked with four kids, all of whom are now grown and remember what it was like.

What upset me most about the colleague was that she was very entitled and never showed any gratitude. We differed because I understood the burden I placed on my colleagues and showed gratitude, yet she never seemed to care.

Said that to say, could your colleague's approach be what's bothering you rather than her illness? [/quote]

Yes, I don’t blame her for being chronically ill. I don’t even blame her for not taking time off. I am bothered that she is reluctant to use any tech supports to avoid the errors and resistant to asking for reasonable accommodations. I recognize that she feels very self-conscious and vulnerable. There never seems to be a good time or gentle way to discuss the ways in which I can support her without being overly impacted myself.[/quote]

That is a totally fair thing to be frustrated about.  I don't think your situation and hers are analogous.  [/quote]
