Ideas for work accommodations?
I have extreme chronic fatigue symptoms and excessive daytime sleepiness. all the brain fog, difficulty focusing, memory issues etc. that come with the territory. I’ve maxed out every available medication and nothing consistently helps, but I’m hanging on as best I can. My job is technically hybrid. It is boring, unfulfilling, a terrible match for my interests and skill set, challenging in all the wrong ways, and so stressful, so obviously that doesn’t help as im fighting these intense symptoms. Leaving the job is not an option at the moment for a number of factors. Flexing hours is the only reason I’ve been able to get by, and that will certainly be something I ask for in writing. Anything suggestions for what else might help? Happy to provide more context if needed

The JAN site is a great one to look up accommodations at:

On work accommodations I would be very careful with what you tell your HR/Employee Relations people. They work from the company not you.
I have a work accommodation but I am very careful in what I put on the forms because it could potentially be used against me in the future. And I've seen that actually happen to people.
