Did you get any kind of documentation from HR on these accommodations? Having it in writing could help if they push back.

I do have some medical paperwork and old emails about it. Guess I’ll keep that handy, thanks!

Definitely a good idea. Sometimes it’s all about having the proof ready when they start questioning things.

Does your union have any say in this? They might be able to back you up if it’s a contract thing.

Yep, I looped in a union rep. They’re super busy with other issues right now, but hoping they can help.

Good call getting them involved early. It might help keep things from escalating too much.

Honestly, if you’re meeting your work goals, why mess with a system that’s working? Seems like a risky move by management.

Exactly! My performance is solid, so I’m not sure why they’re pushing so hard for these changes.

What’s SCOPE? Just curious since it sounds like it’s related to the changes they want to make.

SCOPE is basically management’s way of looking for ‘efficiencies.’ They’re trying to standardize schedules to save costs.

Ah, so a ‘cost-cutting’ thing? Makes sense but also sounds like a hassle for folks like you with accommodations.

Exactly… feels like they’re not considering individual needs just to save a few bucks.
