Has anybody had problems requesting reasonable accommodations or a few days annually of intermittent FMLA due to a health issue?


I have many years with this company and a long record as a reliable employee. I am nervous to request to telework just one day a week for a couple of months. A coworker of mine did this recently but she is one of the boss’s favorites and they are friends.


I will have no difficulty keeping up with my duties because much of my work is on the computer and I’m very organized... But a brief google search brought up all kinds of sad stories about people getting fired for requesting reasonable accommodations or intermittent FMLA and now I am worried.


While I am worried about my job, I am also worried about my health. My friends and husband tell me all the time time to stop pushing myself so hard.
