[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I’ll try to address some of the questions.

-I work for a very large organization

-I actually WAS trying to comply with the RTO requirements, and ended up back in the hospital at the end of august because of it. [b]I would go in to the office by drugging myself up and then sit there, trying to make an appearance. I never made it more than 2-4 hours before I became too ill to be at work.[/b] I couldn’t even drive myself there and back and was relying on Ubers.

-I already had an intermittent FMLA in place earlier this summer because of how much time I’ve been out

-my employer was entirely unwilling to work with me on any of this-they wouldn’t let me work remotely when sick (even though we allow 1 day a week of remote even under the new rules). I was completely out of sick time and burning vacation to cover my absences, but the rule is that vacation time must be approved in advance and I was using it day by day to cover my illness. I really was between a rock and a hard place and they were making it impossible for me to comply.

-when I was informed verbally that no WFH would be approved as part of the reasonable accommodation process, I got documentation for a continuous FMLA.

-the headline of my post is overly provocative and I wish I could change it. I shouldn’t have titled this post the way I did.[/quote]

What was it about sitting in the office that made you sick, while sitting at home did not?[/quote]
