This is what my manager said to me over the phone today when I asked if I could work from home next week.
Context: I was in a really bad crash last Friday (not at fault) literally in front of my work. The paramedics (and others) told me that when they saw my car, they didn’t think I’d be alive. It’s been a week and I am still in a lot of pain with very limited mobility.
My doc is having me begin half days next week, so I figured I’d ask if I could do it remotely as the half days are to see how I’m doing and build from there. (Also I should point out that working remotely was brought up by one of the managers in a previous conversation)
My response was, “if people get in a crash at the level I did, then I think they probably should.”
I was speechless but I shouldn’t have been surprised.
