Hi All:
I wanted to get some feedback on the situation I find myself in with my employer. I work for a large legal documentation firm and I was very forthcoming when I was diagnosed with BC. At first, my boss was very sympathetic and said she would do anything possible to make life easy for me while I get through treatment. She offered a flexible schedule, working from home during treatment weeks, etc. However, in the 8 weeks since diagnosis she has made it clear that she is NOT happy with my absences due to tests/treatment; she picks at me about my absences rather frequently. She has refused any kind of work-from-home arrangement, and has basically said I need to 'step up' and work harder. Now that I have started chemo some days are really tough and the option to work from home would be a huge help physically. I recently spoke to the recruiter that placed me in my job and she suggested I revisit the conversation regarding flexible hours and call her if it does not help. I did...and it did not
Has anyone dealt with this kind of situation? I dont want to go on disability; I dont think I need to...but I also find myself completely stressed out about this situation. If I could afford to be home I sure would, but also not an option.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
