Posted elsewhere too as not sure of best place.
I have a condition which causes pain & mobility problems. Managed with meds & can come & go, it’s unpredictable. When it flares it can be debilitating & affects me mentally as well as physically.
I find the mornings especially hard & working from home has been so much easier for me from a physical point of view. We are currently expected in the office 3 days a week - new hybrid working policy. I’m considering making a request for reasonable adjustments to work from home 2 days a week (i work 4 days).
I was just wondering if anyone else has done something similar & how you went about it - did you ask for this as a reasonable adjustment due to health condition or as a flexible working request which is a policy open to all?
My boss has always been very supportive & said to do what is best for me but I feel awkward keep saying can I work from home & worry it looks like I’m getting special treatment when everyone else is expected in 3 days. I’d rather have something more official agreed. I thought I could say I’d like to do standard 2 days from home but if I’m feeling fine & it would be beneficial to be in more some weeks I’m happy to do that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
