Hi. So I work at a university research office and I am immunosuppressed. I have an accomodation to work from home since Summer 2021. I've been using my personal laptop since the beginning of the pandemic to work. I was given a laptop which did not have enough ram (4 gigs total) for me to do my job as a data analyst on. I tried to work on it and could not. I have asked my boss to buy a computer for me for almost 2 years since the pandemic began. I have a paper trail of emails. I even bought Google drive space to backup my files but it didn't backup properly. I was given no guidelines to follow on how to back up this stuff/keep stuff safe. My boss is trying to get me to go physically back to work to use a computer until she can buy or requisition me one. Which will take a few. I refused to even though I would be alone. I'm not willing to use those offices anyway, as they had a mold problem and I would be using a communal bathroom. I contacted the EEO office and my lawyer but my boss is expecting me to produce work. I'm not willing to go in to do it. Where does this leave me? She can't penalize me for not meeting deadlines under these circumstances, right?
I have to answer an email tomorrow where she is asking me to work on a bunch of stuff that I don't have the necessary equipment to do. My laptop that i was given is barely capable of web browsing, my phone is easier to send emails on, i can't analyze data on it..
What should I do? My boss is generally really awesome, I just got a raise and better position.
