Back in April when I did neuropsych tests, they recommended a quieter, less distracting work environment. I work in a cube farm & 80% of the time when I'm at my desk, there are 3 people around me on conference calls.
I'm considering asking to work from home one day a week so I can have some quiet work time. We have a pretty flexible work arrangement in general & people do work from home sometimes.
I'm a bit concerned about formalizing it though because it would be in my HR record then. I've been reading about the ADA & telecommuting doesn't have a very good record as a reasonable accommodation legally.
Has anyone here done this successfully? Anyone have repercussions due to asking to telecommute?
I think it would actually make me MORE productive as I get so distracted at the office...it's not a plan to get out of work. Just wondering what others have experienced.
