[query] Is it a good idea to say a firm No due to medical reasons to a new night shift project I'm hired in?Accenture
I recently got a night shift project (2 days ago) that requires me to work from 10:30pm till 7:30am
I'm not comfortable with these timings and I'm thinking to ask my manager to put me on Bench (Due to medical reasons that involve mental health)
Is it a nice idea to say a firm No to a new project I'm hardlocked into, due to night shifts?

Hi guys,
Need help,I am joining VMware Banglore on 27th June. During interview I told them I need wfh. They said it wil be wfh this entire year. Only mistake I did was i didn't permanent wfh. I took for granted like once I join i can opt for it ( as my VMware friends had said we can opt for it)
Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.
So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?
Looking for some book recommendations :)
I quit today :)

“I am currently out of office on leave and unable to respond to your message. For urgent matters, please contact [colleague name] at [colleague email]. I look forward to catching up with you when I return."
“Hi - thanks for your message. I will be out of the office through March 2018. If this is an urgent matter, please contact (...). Otherwise, I will respond to your message when I return. Have a great day!"
Firstly glad to hear that you are taking care of yourself in this way, and sorry for how you've been suffering. I can empathize, as someone with clinical depression and anxiety.
Secondly, nobody needs to know why you are gone. That is your business.
I would recommend saying something like "Thanks for your note. I am out of the office until ____, with no access to email. In my absence, please contact ____."
If you actually plan to check and respond to emails, which I don't really recommend, then say "with very limited access to email."
I wish you peace and healing, OP.
“This existence is void”
Will you be checking email? I wouldn’t put anything. If you aren’t on a project who will be emailing you regularly? If anything comes up, you can redirect
I really like the draft response from P1, OP
Sc out of curiosity, is the leave paid?
