I gave in my "accommodations" form with regard to our new hybrid work policy yesterday in an effort to dodge ever having to go into the office. I've been working from home for 4 years and they want me into the office for 2 days out of the week.
It's expensive, The public transport in my area is infamous at best and the drive is even worse. The office is old and cold. Otherwise, very nice to visit on a day off or something if no one is there and you need to grab a free coffee and just happen to be around. There's only one spot with one type of chair. ^them the reasons I would not want to go to the office at all. I don't need to, they keep telling me my work is more than just fine.
I spoke with a lawyer (oh man), they said I shouldn't refuse like I wanted to because of reasons specific to the labour laws. So I filled it out and then didn't send it in for like a week. I was stressed about it the whole week but I FINALLY SENT IT IN!
