Summary
Employees with disabilities are facing severe consequences when requesting remote work as a reasonable accommodation. Companies often deny these requests, placing employees on unpaid leave and eventually terminating them due to lack of available remote positions. This creates immense stress, financial strain, and a sense of betrayal, highlighting a critical gap in corporate compliance with disability laws and remote work policies. The problem remains largely unsolved as employers prioritize in-office presence over accommodation adherence.
