My work mandated a return to work. Where we have to attend work on a hybrid model. 50% at work each month. Following a strict pattern of 3 days a weeks in office 2 at home than 2 days a week in office than 3 at home.
I have an accommodation that allows me to work 2 days in office weekly and 3 at home.
My doctor requested an accommodation of fully remote. Then I was given the option of 2 days and the possibility to reduce to one day a week.
This accommodation is wearing me thin. I had absences and now I am on an absenteeism plan. I want to peruse the full remote. But am worried that I will accommodate my self out of a job. My employer told me anything beyond 1 day a week I would to be forced to go into disability.
I just found out that the original abilities specialist that was handling my case no longuer works there and new one is trying to tell me that he needs to review my case again in addition to telling me g me that it is not fair to other employees that I have an accommodation. My accommodation was given based on medical evidence provided by my physician and the employer agreed to it now I am beyond freaked out by this and he also mentioned that the employer wants us to go on leave.
I can work. I just can’t work In the office.
What are my options?
