I have a disability accommodation to work from home most of the week. HR keeps trying to take it away. How do you explain why working from home is less exhausting than working in the office? Is it not obvious? That changing the lighting or putting me in a quieter place might help but is not enough? They want an explanation of why WFH is better and why another accommodation won’t work. To me, it feels like they’re being intentionally obtuse.

I’m so afraid of losing this job that I desperately need. I also have chronic migraine and trigeminal neuralgia and am dealing with the possibility of a genetic cancer syndrome, which is overwhelming me right now. However, I know I can’t get disability, because I am able to work if I’m given an appropriate accommodation.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to explain it? Any alternative accommodations that would actually be effective?
