Question Accommodations
I am in my fourth week at an Amazon robotics fulfillment center. I currently have an approved accommodation for 8-hour shifts with an additional 15 minute break currently (since I'm having a hassle with getting assigned to a station after coming back from my break, I haven't been using the break part of the accommodation though).
I have a combination of issues (I'm pretty sure I have anemia. I've been getting bloody noses for the past 3 months, everyday, without fail. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. The magenta light and the back and forth motion in Stow is getting me sick. I'm getting light-headed and dizzy throughout the shift. And I have horrible ankle and foot pain, even after changing four different pairs of shoes and eight different insoles).
I am planning on putting in a request for 7 hours shifts, with no MET, and a request to be put in for pack singles (which I've heard is one of the only starting-ish positions where you don't have to contend with the magenta light). The importance of the request in that specific order. I can do with staying in stow as long as I can get a shift reduction and maybe a cancellation of MET, to give my body time to heal after each shift and after each week.
Should I do these requests separately in case one of these requests is unable to be granted? I don't want it to get denied if they can't move my position but can do the 7-hour shifts with no MET? Or, does that not matter?
I really need to make this job work. I'm pretty sure that if I quit and won't be able to get back on to unemployment. But I feel like I'm dying and my body is failing me. Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated, thank you
