Unfortunately, I sought accommodations at work when I was undergoing a medical condition and needed multiple foot surgeries and they refused to meet my accommodations. The company I worked for was a children's inpatient mental treatment hospital . I then sought the advice of an attorney and he thought I had a solid case but at that point, I would have only won a year's worth of salary. He suggested that I go out on short-term disability, which then ended up in long-term disability, which then ultimately ended up in firing. I could have potentially won but I didn't have the money at the time to hire the lawyer so I was SOL. Good luck and hope you fair better than I did!
I’m sorry this happened to you. Wish you pursued a wrongful termination case
Adding a comment to clarify I am talking about ADHD
What sort of specific accommodations are you looking for? For me, if I've needed them in the past due to a medical condition they've been met gracefully. Also, I have had coworkers who have asked for improved accessibility and equipment, and those have generally been met.
ADHD!
I work in a law school clinic. I recently got an office in the back with less foot traffic and noise-canceling headphones. I check email at specific times of the day instead of being always vulnerable to distraction. My team knows to send me a chat if they need a response right away.
I recently heard about a lawyer whose firm purchased him software that blacks out text on your screen other than what you are reading. He’s in a private firm.
I was hit by a car while biking in 2017 and broke both of my legs. I was only 6 or so months into my new role and my team was beyond accommodating. At the time WFH was not nearly as common as it is post-pandemic but in communicating my needs I was able to WFH every day with the support of leadership. I suppose it really comes down to your organization.
