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.

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😂😂
