[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Multiple serious ortho issues (several diagnosed since 2020, and leading to 3 surgeries and two total joint replacements since 2020).  Cannot do a commute more than 15 minutes each way. Current office s 90 minutes.

My manager had the power to approve the RA— and did. That set things in motion, so if RTO happens, I’m exempt for now with a presumed approval. Normally, the agency EEOC coordinator would review, ask for any additional documentation (and you want surgical reports, operative reports, PT and OT reports, imaging studies, ablations, ESis, etc since 2020, and statements from pain management and orthopedics, I got them). But my agency fired the entire EEOC office, so there is literally no one left to do the final sign off.  Per the union, manager’s approval stands until there is an EEOC process in place for RAs, which is required by law. [/quote]

If you are able to commute, but not from the distance where you happen to live, you are probably out of luck.

An employee who had the exact same medical condition that you do who lived 15 minutes away would be medically able to be in the office.  Your employer doesn’t control where you live.[/quote]

Accommodations are on a case-by-case basis. It doesn’t matter that someone with the same medical condition lives closer or farther. Moreover, the same medical condition can manifest differently.[/quote]
