Hi all! This issue has been coming up more frequently and I wanted to see how others are handling it. Our main mkt office has been Hybrid since post covid. Rule is 3x a week in office. A lot of the “younger generation” (I’m a millennial for reference) are coming to us with anxiety/depression issues as reasons to wfh full time. We are struggling because it’s a slippery slope. If we require a doctors note, that could spiral. If we don’t, then others will wonder “why not them” any advice?

I guess you have to ask yourself if their productivity will be impacted by wfh. It's like with any other reasonable accommodation dilemma. It is a slippery slope, but it doesn't have to be. In my office we pretty much have a 30/30/30 split between FT office, WFH, and hybrid and that's without any requirements. (Fellow millennial here and I'm hybrid, a lot of GenZ is WFH and GenX and older at FT office)

Doctor’s notes.if your company decided hybrid and 3 days, despite any other factors. Then you have to follow a process. I hate it and we probably work for the same company. But the policy is office 3 days. It’s part of the e job (right or wrong, rationale or not). Any reasonable accommodations require process and doctors notes.

We had to go to formal documentation with a diagnosis. It became an issue due to a few bad apples. In retrospect, should have done from the beginning.

I am not surprised to see this and you're right, it is a slippery slope because pretty soon everyone is going to want to wfh full time and may use this as a reason. I would make sure there is formal documentation to back up them needing to work from home full time and then go from there.

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

Also, how involved are you REs? I’ve been through 2 retrievals now, but feel kinda in the dark still on a lot of things. Some of the nurses are hit or miss and if I want to talk to my doctor I have to schedule a consultation and its typically a 2 week wait.
