Worked at Google 5 years remote. Left. Rejoined Google. Been here 30 days. Submitted a medical accommodation to be fully remote and it was denied. Now on unpaid leave, with 60 days to find a new role.
Anyone else have this happen? Suggestions?

Literally everyone at Google is in the same position. There are no accommodations. This has been policy for years at this point.

I don’t like it. I don’t agree with it. However, it’s widely known and accepted. Why did you think that you would be the exception to the rule everyone else is held to?

Temporary ones are. Permanent? No, but of course that's going to be a way higher bar...

Laid off and found a new role advertising remote internally, passed interview went to change teams and HR blocked any remote opportunity. Said it was an error and I needed to be in office. Find a new job they wont budge.

what do u mean 60 days? unpaid leave isn’t a layoff, just unpaid PTO right

I think it's the timing. during COVID and years following, remote work was accepted and accommodated. Since the Return of Office campaign that started last year (ish) seems to be now in full swing. It is now return to office is mandatory with at least 3 says a week in the office. Google has also been offering voluntary exit to along with this mandatory return to office.
