[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the old days, you would go out on disability. Have you looked into that? It doesn't pay as well, though. Definitely take the three months now, though. I am tired of all the whining about going back to the office -- I have been in person the entire time -- but in your case[b] if I valued you as an employee, [/b] I would have worked with you to keep you on, especially with medical documentation.  I would say they don't want you there, so move accordingly.[/quote]

This is key. The only times I have seen a company fight a reasonable accommodation is when the person has been an ongoing performance risk and they don’t believe the request. It’s way too risky for them to deny requests otherwise. [/quote]

YMMV but I have often seen the opposite, where the supervisor was on board with an accommodation to keep a good employee but the HR rep, who knew nothing about the employee's work performance, was determined to fight to the death to reject all remote requests because "if we give it to one person than everyone is going to want it." I'm in management and have heard some cringey thinks come out of HR's mouth like "anyone can get a doctor's note" and "this person might be telling the truth but others will hear about this and abuse the system."[/quote]
