[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m still waiting on mine. Multiple mental heath conditions that require sleep hygiene and medications not compatible with daily 4 hours spent commuting.[/quote]

Commuting is not an ADA issue. You are not entitled to accommodations to avoid the commute regardless of the condition. [/quote]

Are you an attorney?

Some of these commutes are 2 hours long. Many middle aged and older women suffer from degrees of incontinence. They would have to stop at a bathroom, making their commute even longer. I would argue that the commute itself absolutely is an issue for these people and that remote work is a reasonable accommodation.[/quote]

Urogynecologist surgical staffer here. Unless you live in Palm Springs and are commuting to Vegas across the desert, there will be a bathroom along the commute. It’s fine to stop along the way.

Alternatives include Depends/Thinx and / or wicking pads.

Cmon. You’re already wearing the absorbent pads and briefs in your home office, admit this. Just change when you arrive at work. Bring a disposable wipe.

My employer would never agree to sign a letter with her name and NPI stating someone with your diagnosis can’t drive. [/quote]

Genuine question - for many feds there is no parking option, so my commute via transit is one hour door to door. What about fecal incontinence? Also changing diaper etc is very embarrassing and time consuming in a public restroom.[/quote]

A commute of one hour door to door is completely normal and you should be ashamed to be scamming the system for something so commonplace.[/quote]
