Hi all. This is with regards to IBM. Today I got a mail to return to office for atleast 3 days a week from 1st October 2022.

I am not in any project as of now. I have a medical condition of acute slipped disc.

Is it possible to get wfh based on my medical condition? Or will we be forced to go 3 days per week?

I had heard wfh policy is possible in IBM . Now I m hearing this.. Any inputs will be valuable.

Medical they should consider.

This is ridiculous, with is a privilege ane not anybody's right. Even though you have a genuine medical condition, this simply can't be an endless wfh situation. No one is forcing people to join office, it's to maintain discipline and encourage team work.

Best way to Handle this is talk to your manager and explain your condition, preferably backed up by medical records and he/she will definitely consider.
