[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a medical condition (headache, pregnancy, whatever) that requires some kind of accommodation isn't carte blanche to dictate what specific accommodation you get.

OP going to HR demanding that she or the coworker be moved right off the bat before doing any work to resolve the issue herself and if that fails going to HR to see what they believe a reasonable accommodation would be is incredibly unprofessional.[/quote]

Thank you.  I have been in HR and have been pregnant.    Don't immediately involve HR unless you are able to resolve it yourself.  No one wants to become known as "that" person in the office but it happens a lot.  I had a colleague who was pregnant the same time I was.  She came to HR at least a dozen times to ask for "accommodations" for things we could not accommodate for.  Can you fire someone for being pregnant or taking maternity leave?  No.  But can you do damage by being unprofessional during those times  and it comes back to bite you long after you are no longer protected?  Yes.   [/quote]
