Seek an accommodation

How long have you worked there? Honestly 7 months is intense - we discourage wfh during the first year as a regular thing, but really only for the first 90 days unless there’s a problem.

Maybe seek an accommodation for 3-4 days a month with a dr note.

My nieces get relief from stick on warm patches. You can buy them at most pharmacies or online at the FSA store. Before that nothing really worked effectively.

I honor and respect the no wfh rule for a certain probationary period... however, I also respect and honor the ability to meet my staff where they are at.
I would say... can you TRULY and GENUINELY say you really have ONLY the option to work from home OR call out? If you only want to work from home out of convenience, then ... if the company is truly built for needing in-office staff... I see their point for limited wfh.
If you're truly in a position that you either need to call out or try to work from home, even if it's for modified hours, then... have that conversation with your one-up. Maybe they'll be able to allow wfh... maybe not. Maybe there's no room outside the standard policy.

My stance: we're patient facing, so... you're either here or you're near death and maybe can do a FEW hours from home but not the whole day OR .... you call out completely. If you can't make it in then you're doing bad enough that you can't work barely at all.

I would just be there with your warm tea and your Tylenol, get through it. If people ask, be honest and tell them you’re under the weather. Nothing wrong with that.

Did you do the NIPT? I just had my first prenatal appt and they scheduled me for the NIPT at 10 weeks. I’m a little nervous and anxious. Did anyone get it and got a false positive? Do you not recommend it? I wish I could ask family but we’re not telling anyone until the 12 weeks mark.

My brother is going through some really intense chemo so him and his wife are often recovering at their house for a week without going out.

Since they can’t take any visitors I would love to send them some sort of at home activity kit (wine tasting or anything!) to keep them busy during these lockdown weeks.

Please share any suggestions you have below! No limits in terms of activity or budget. I have about 8-9 weeks that I plans to cover.

Thank you!
