Disability

[msmemory_archive]

My boss called today - she noticed that I was attempting to get VPN set up so I could do a smattering of little work from home. Seems working from home violates my disability status, so I can't. Okaaaaay. I will now proceed to sit on the phone with the person who's supposed to update the Intranet, who has never written anything in html, and talk her through a task which would take me 15-20 minutes to do in person.

Why does this make sense to our HR people?

EDIT: When (if) they ask me to do the phone consult, I'll point out that HR needs to approve first. Boss, above, is office manager and also part of HR, so it's a short path to a decision.

As I understand it, disability status is not generally set by HR people. It's a legal thing outside their control. So, it is a choice between doing things the hard way now, or risk having to answer hard questions later.

Remember, if the system were perfect and rational, the Universe would fall in upon itself out of sheer boredom. :)
