Print out a sign Allergy-Free zone - no peanuts past this point!

Then get a wheelchair sign and make a desk wheelchair accessible only.

Re: “ As if they couldn't hire outside counsel.”

Funny thing is, AT&T is not staffed up in out of footprint. They sent me to court, I’m in Finance, to stand for a suit about fake checks with the AT&T logo printed on them. I read the talking points, judge still found in favor of check cashing store. AT&T cut a check to reimburse. Legal followed up and said they could have filed a motion to move to state or municipal court. I’m like, why didn’t you just come. Too much backlog of cases. Can’t win them all. Too expensive.

"AT&T laid off a lot of its lawyers and won’t have anyone to dispatch to the trial."

As if they couldn't hire outside counsel.

JA, or Job Accommodations, are required for large corporations. The larger the company (revenue and number of employees), the greater the accommodations the company should offer. A 50-person manufacturing company can push back on accommodations because it would be proportionately higher of a burden on the business. A billion dollar utility company that sells connectivity solutions would be expected to allow its employees to work from home. Get a lawyer. Bonus: AT&T laid off a lot of its lawyers and won’t have anyone to dispatch to the trial. You’ll have a local HR person attending and will be like, “we have a whole team dedicated to reasonable accommodations” and the director is just doing this to get a bonus.

Take care to use alcohol wipes on the desk, chair arms, including where you pull the chair out. Also use alcohol wipes on LCD screen buttons and all cords.
Open air should not be an issue but residual peanut oils and proteins in a revolving shared workspace will eventually result in severe allergic reaction if not super careful.

Email your supervisor with these detailed concerns along with a doctors cautionary statement. Request a reserved cube.

Have your director assist you in the men's room - which have no TP!

Thank the Stink!
