Any moms (or dads) on here gone through HR to get an accommodation to work from home?
My mental heath and nervous system is a complete wreck right now from having to leave my one year old every day who stays home with our nanny. My husband has been pushing me to talk to my therapist about a proper doctor’s note and HR accommodation. Has anyone gone through this process that could give me some tips?

I didn’t because I have been in remote roles, but colleagues in previous companies definitely went this route. I think my colleagues already had a documented disability (e.g. ADHD), but I don’t think this is a requirement. Usually, if the doctor says you need the accommodation then the company will do that (within reason). Check with HR to know the process and documentation required. I would recommend that you avoid disclosing details about why you need the accommodation at this point, and let the doctor phrase those in the right way first. Once you do get approved for remote work, stay vigilant about being visible and integrated with your team and company.

I did. Got paperwork from my provider and had to prove there was a legit reason.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
