[quote=Anonymous]I was only in the office for 2 days a week for the decade before COVID. Since 2020, I’ve been 100% remote.  Since 2022, I’ve had both hips replaced. And am due for a knee replacement once I completely recover. And have severe SI joint arthritis, that right now has no solution except pain killers. Obviously, I have an underlying condition causing my joints to fail. My ortho and pain management specialists don’t want me communing unnecessarily— especially since they gave up our lease and my 45 minute each way pre-COVID commute is now 1.5 hours each way to the tiny outstation to which I am officially assigned that can actually hold us each maybe one day a week hoteling.

I’m an actual lawyer, so I am certainly putting in for an ADA accommodation if needed.  They need to show that I am unable to do the essential functions of my job with the requested accommodation or find another solution that accommodates it. I’ve gone into my office once since 3/2020– to pack it up when they gave the lease away and renew my piv card. I have metrics to meet and am meeting them at a higher level than I did in 2020. Exactly zero of my job functions have changed since COVID started. I didn’t need to be going in 2 days a week then, and our union was in talks to make it one core day a week.  I certainly don’t need to go in 5.

Let them come for my telework. [/quote]
