I’ve recently asked my employer for flexible working arrangements ie working from home due to concerns about the virus. I’m pregnant, have some health issues and have a child who is constantly in hospital (Every fortnight currently) with a respiratory issue. I asked to work from home for a short period of time and was given pretty short shrift. I was told it’s ‘business as usual’ and advised to refer myself for counselling to manage my anxieties. It’s looking like unpaid leave for me now, which is fine, I’ll take that, but a shame as I am keen to continue to work - I’m just disappointed in being made to feel hysterical when I have an unwell child and there is no medical info on the risks to unborn babies. I just want to protect my family. Just wondering if anyone else has asked for similar and what response you got?
