I’m working from home for one week post surgery. Is there a way if my surgeon writes a note specifying why I need a second week wfh before coming back that “workplace excellence” will be okay and not flag me? I’ve been compliant all other weeks 3 days but last week I worked only 2 days but came in both days to office. Should I call HR or get a note first?

Bofa? Or is everyone else calling this nonsense WE too? 😂 if bac, you'll need to rqst temporary medical accomodation. Surgeon can prescribe whatever amt of recovery time you need. Mgr approves. You may or may not show as non-compliant in dashboard but Mgr can excuse it/supply evidence. Shouldn't be a huge deal unless your boss is a jerk.

It was a huge deal lol my boss has become a jerk..

I just went through the same situation. My employer allows my manager to approve up to 30 days WFH with a doctor's note. I asked the surgeon to specify that I had mobility issues in the note, signed and dated, clearly stating that I had to be home from surgery date till 30 days after.

My suggestion is - get a note first, talk to your manager and ask what the process is. It's likely that they will tell you to submit the note to them + HR.

I got three weeks. But they acted like it was the end of the world it’s been a headache. Had to get HR involved and he said he was upset bc I didnt “plan ahead” for over 1 week wfh. I’ve done 10 hours OT all three weeks…

Might help to know what country you are working from to better understand the local rules.
But is a job, where you can do the work from home, but you are stressing about wfh post surgery really the right environment?

Sorry should’ve been more detailed. I’m in US. I can do the work from home. We get 2 days fo work from home and 3 days “required” in office. I work more and better at home. I’m stressed bc I can’t push or pull much over 5 lbs and driving strains a little bit and if I manage to go too hard I. Could have some very painful and expensive complications. It’s not insurance covered.

Ugh, if you have an employer that’s going to be so strict right after you have surgery that’s…not great. I would assume most employers would be reasonable (but I know that’s not always the case). Have you tried just asking your manager for an extra week? If not, my guess is your doctor wouldn’t mind writing a note.

You can probably get better insight posting this in your company's bowl, as they'll have a better idea of policy and flexibility.

Hi all-
I was going to be preparing myself for an interview for a T2 firm. I have about 7 months to prepare for the interview but am overwhelmed by a lot of conflicting advice on how to prepare. I am generally not the best interviewer but am confident of being a good fit for consulting.

I wanted to ask if anyone in a similar position (not great at interviews) managed to overcome this and how. I really want to nail this and am willing to spend a lot of time and energy to put myself through.
