[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much can she possibly be making?  Isn’t it like $800/mo?[/quote]

My guess is her salary is just a bonus, it’s all the benefits (health insurance is a big one) that come along with a Fed job. This woman may have had long COVID but her current activity level seems to indicate she has recovered enough to be able to work from a desk.[/quote]

What’s your experience in these kinds of judgements? You don’t know her situation.

She may play tennis for 3 hours a week, but may also need 12 hours a week of other therapies that no employer will accommodate for. She may not be able to sit for prolonged periods of time due to pain or thrombosis risk. She may have cognitive issues. She may need extra rest but “regular office hours” plus any other therapies don’t accommodate for.

You see these people at their best, but I suspect their worst would leave you without words.

Can we stop with judging people against an impossible schedule for work? Maybe she *can* work a desk job but cannot her accommodations for that. Maybe she can’t. You don’t know, so stop with the side eyes. You don’t actually know what her best life looks like. I’m assuming for many people, they best life doesn’t look like a limited life with Long Covid.[/quote]

Oh give it a rest. If she can travel for vacation to italy she can work from home. There is no condition that isn’t serious enough to prohibit recreational travel to Italy but magically prevents one from doing desk work. Sorry, expect more from yourself and others. She’s now a fraud.[/quote]

NP. You are just dead wrong, and equating disability with "physical disability only." There are so many other disabilities that impact the ability to work, but you're too stubborn to listen.[/quote]

What conditions would prevent you from working a desk job but not prevent you from traveling to Italy? And don’t say diminished cognitive skills because then she should not be employed anymore in her current position (because she can no longer perform it) and should be on social security and Medicaid (assuming someone with time for tennis and can afford a family trip to Italy could qualify). So stop making excuses for someone who is clearly milking the system.[/quote]

Do you think employers are clamouring to get people with disabilities to work from home for them? How plentiful
Are WAH positions now that most employers are pushing for more on site time?

This person may have regular things like physical therapy, PICC line flushing, respiratory tech, physicians appointments, etc. that employers don’t want to work around but can be worked around for a 2 week trip.

Say it with me : people with disabilities are still entities to a positive quality of life!! [/quote]

Well then if she can travel to Italy she can certainly travel to the office.[/quote]

You're really hung up on the idea that anyone who can travel can't possibly be disabled, and I can't fathom how you're sticking to that astounding level of ignorance over and over? [/quote]
