My Job is entirely on the computer, using google chats etc etc. I never have any human interaction in my office, that is needed for my job.
I recently have been having Massive coughing fits in the office. For reference I have a Slew of allergies and problems in general. As a result of these coughing fits, I told my boss who is very understanding that I am going to make an emergency doctors apt. And get a referral to an allergist to see what’s going on.
So I did that, then worked from home for a few days (I am able to do this once in a while) – which went great as it allows me to be far more productive.
Upon returning to work today, we had agreed to move me to another office in the building to see if it would help my coughing. The new office is completely enclosed no windows no humans etc etc. I have an air purifier they generously bought for me at my desk, you guessed it, coughing fits ensued.
For reference these coughs are the type where your bent over dry heaving. Negative Covid test etc.
I also have Bipolar 1 which GREATLY effects my work-in office.
So with all this being said, in an unorganized fashion, I would love to work from home. I’m very scared to ask as I have been with this lovely company for only a few months, I have had LOTS of praise and only compliments since I’ve joined.
Work from home would benefit me with my allergies and especially my bipolar. Should I inquire about this?
