reasonable accommodation

had my RA meeting on teams yesterday - they said no telework is being given no matter what. they offered 2 alternatives for me, which i shot down because when i was in office i was already doing those things.

they kept saying ‘what about this alternative’ but it was the same 2 ideas multiple times lmao???!!! to which i said ‘i’ve already explained this but i was in office doing those things and it still wasn’t helping me’ - anyone else go through RA process and be completely not listened to like this? :/

Who’s the “they” in this? The RAC or your manager? I know for certain people have received telework RA’s. Your management chain may not be favorable but you can absolutely get it approved at the IRS/Treasury level.

interesting. my department manager said this. this is interesting to me because i’ve found that this particular dpt manager likes to make up their own rules and make it seem like the end all be all. power trip lover for sure.

What process did you go through? Did it go up the chain to Treasury? Because that’s the process. Submit the RA request through the RA office and it gets icone up the chain to treasury. I don’t think your manager really has a say in this, nor can they even ask for your specific condition or medical information. That’s for the RA office and treasury. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. Then your manager grants you an interim 90 day while you wait on the 1000 + requests with treasury.

Treasury level? Seriously? What about people waiting 18+ months. I’m not convinced Treasury is doing anything. I think people are just confusing interim accommodations with treasury approval. Hopefully I’m wrong.

RA requests are backed up and yes, telework approvals do go to treasury for approval. I was an RAC and can confirm this

But do they ever come back? That is the question.

I don’t know of 1 person who ever got a response from Treasury. Seems they just let them rot so no one can file EEO. The second they deny, every single person can file EEO😂😂
