I was hired as a 100% remote worker, but my company has has us all back in the office for a year now. I have ADHD so the office environment can be really hard for me to deal with and makes me really overstimulated.
I’ve tried medication, noise canceling headphones, and other strategies to try to cope with this.
It’s starting to cause me to have issues with my mental health, so I wanted to seek this accommodation.
I requested to work a hybrid schedule (which other departments are allowed to) but it’s been denied. Their reasoning was that it would put undue burden on the company which is completely false. I don’t have a client facing role, it’s completely internal. I could log in right now and work from my living room. When employees are out of sick time they allow us to work sick from home, so there is no undue burden.
Do I have a chance to legally fight this? This is a large company and I don’t have a lot of money for a lawyer.
