As a result, my neck is getting stiff and hurts quite alot, and I'm starting to get headaches too cause of all the shaking caused by the table.

I already asked HR if they can address this issue, but they haven't done anything for the past 2 days. Is it unreasonable to ask if I can work remotely until they can fix this issue? This situation is temporary as me and my coworkers will be moving to a new office space in a month or so. The thing though, is I'm the only one with this desk. My boss is telling me to hang in there until we relocate, but…idk. I like the job but the management is killing me. Sorry if this isnt the subreddit for it
