I started a thread in December titled "
FMLA leave threatened to lose full time status"
This is somewhat in relation to that thread, in my paperwork to reduce my hours to 30 a week, it was also stated that "Working from home may be a reasonable accommodation". Now my employer did allow the 30 hours and said in my letter that working from home is not an option at this time. Don't remember exactly how they said it. My issue is that I really need the telecommute option, I finally got a new MRI and I blew out yet another disc in my back L3 L4 & L4 L5. Surgery is being planned after my dic tries shots to reduce inflammation but could be awhile before I can get back to full time work. Another employee just was given work from home because he was getting married and moved out of state with his soon to be wife. We both requested the telecommute about the same time. He was granted the option but I was denied? I really don't like to be the guy saying "that's not fair", but im honestly feeling that way right now. I mean I have a medical condition with a doctor saying this is helpful and I am denied, and another person fully capable is allowed because he made a choice. I just don't get it. What do I need to know here? Am I being treated unjust? To clarify, we both worked here the same amount of time I started 6 months before the other 8 years ago, our positions are lateral.
