[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are going to have to move closer to your employer’s location, I’m afraid.[/quote]

My kids are in high school, I am a single mom, and the area near my employer’s location is a high crime area. Who is being reasonable?[/quote]

Of course, the RTO shenanigans are just meant to punish federal employees and make them quit, but at this point, you have to adapt to this new world rather than expecting accommodations.[/quote]

When RTO came out I spent days trying to figure out how I would be able to do it without hastening my path to the grave. Bottom line is there is no other solution (offered yet) that will not completely degrade my health in one way or another. 
If denied, I will probably sue - my sister is an attorney specializing in employment law and very well versed in RA. If lawsuit is not successful, perhaps by then an office closer to me might have a spot open for me to commute to.[/quote]

This is going to suck, and the people being flippant about it are jerks, but degrading health absent a lot more ain’t going to do it.

I’m sure I will get 1-2 hours less sleep per night.  I won’t have time to exercise.  I’ll probably have to do fast food way more often since there won’t be time to cook.  I’ll get much less quality time with my kids, since they will have to be at before and after care the full time open.  All of this will be detrimental to my physical and mental wellbeing.  But there is no way I (or most people who will suffer all of these things) will get an accommodation or be able to sue successfully.

Have you actually talked to your lawyer sister yet and gotten her opinion?  This is all pretty fact specific and it would be good to get advice sooner rather than later to see if an accommodation may be possible with your specific situation.[/quote]
