Just venting here: I have an autoimmune disease, I am not allowed to WFH, and I work in an office where only about 50% wear masks. 🙃

That is beyond ridiculous, you need a new firm. I have an autoimmune disease and on an immunosuppressant medication, so no way I’m going in an office, especially one where people aren’t even wearing masks.

Ask your neurologist to write a letter saying it’s imperative you work from home and start dealing directly with your firm’s HR.

Do you have any special recourse? Autoimmune disease qualifies as a disability as per the social security administration. So maybe you would be justified in disability-related work accommodations.

I tried and it didn't go well. Small town and not a lot of other firms to choose from if this goes poorly.

Your health is more important than your firm who won’t think twice about canning you if it’s in the company’s best interests. Be careful and take care of yourself.

So... quit If this is so important to you?

Are you in a role that you -could- do at home? Or do you -have- to be in the office and are just venting (receptionist, printer, janitor, etc)

What is their core challenge with the idea or are they just old school and don’t understand how serious this is? I’m so sorry.
