[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel for people, but I do think during Covid people got used to WFH/ being able to run to Target/go for walks/pick up kids and check emails a few times, etc. Be grateful for a job.  Many people have been RTO since 2021/2022!

When I was a child my single mom (dad died) had cancer.  She went to work and also had doctors appointments, surgery, chemo, etc.  I still remember her picking me up from after school at the very end with lit her colostomy bag and kids also being picked up would make fun of her.  She didn't complain, was a great and present mom, and went into an office and worked.  She ended up dying and we moved in with an aunt who was/never got not married, who went into an office everyday and some weekends.

I learned a lot as kid, could do my own laundry, homework, etc, and was never babied! I see cousins who have parents who basically do/did everything for them.  One lives at home at age 29 and refuses to work, two others had their mom write many papers in HS and college for them, and many have their parents pay for their expensive life after they graduated college.

My aunt hired high school babysitters and a neighbor who was a SAHM with similar aged kids to watch us after school and in the summer since camps were too expensive.  My grandparents also took us for a couple weeks in the summer.

No one is forcing you to stay at your job.  If you don't like RTO then apply elsewhere.  It will be hard with so many people out of work, but if you don't like what is required as an employee then leave.

I feel for the people with real things that need to be protected.  Being upset you have a 2 hour commute stinks but pushing for an accomodation takes time away from someone who actually needs one.

I did not vote for this, but reading posts on here make me realize so many people are out of touch.

30-40 years ago, far fewer people could even do their jobs from home. There was no internet. People were using faxes. For someone to work from home would have required far more resources and accommodation on the employer side, and most jobs just wouldn’t be possible. If someone had physical limitations preventing them from working in person, they likely were unable to work at all.

Remote work makes it possible for many disabled people to work who might otherwise be unable to.[/quote]

That’s true.  But the majority of people now putting in for RAs to continue permanent or extensive telework somehow managed to come into the office pre pandemic.

The people you are referring to are not the ones all of a sudden seeking accommodations.[/quote]
