I think what might be missing from this conversation is accommodation needs. Pre-pandemic some folks required WFH days as a medical accommodation and perhaps this individual has one of those cases. Individuals do not need to disclose their accommodation requests to the broader team as it is private medical information. This may be the case but might not be but either way something to consider.
No, I’m a consultant for the agency. Only speaking from observation and recent meetings with the DEI officer.
I would think so. Deviating from the schedule the rest of the team is following could alienate the DEI officer, when they should instead be considered an integral part of the team. Maybe I'm wrong, but it would seem to send the wrong message in my opinion.
I 100% agree considering it’s mandated by the Governor’s office 😒 I believe they’ve been able to fly under the radar since the pandemic but with new leadership in place, it’s only a matter of time I’m sure…
Yeah that sounds ridiculous, if its required then everyone has to do it. That's the whole meaning of 'required'. Besides as it's already been pointed out the DEI officer should not be separating themselves from the team, if anything they should be at the forefront of new policies.

1000%. They are an employee. DEI is not meant to be interpreted as special treatment.
I’m confused, why would DEI be excluded from any company policy?
I’m stating, this is the only exec. leadership position in the entire agency of 2000+ employees that is working 24 hours a week from home as a FTE. I guess that’s one heck of a medical accommodation!
