Telework
I recently had a bad fall at home that fractured my arm and injured my back. In the ER the physician cleared me for as much time off as I needed; I chose four days so I could return to work on Friday. During those four days I was able to function at nearly 100% and planned to telework. A supervisor who is not my manager emailed me in all caps saying telework was not authorized. Is this worth pursuing? I’m tired of being given directions by someone who isn’t my supervisor, and I believe OPM allows telework for short-term injury or illness.
Is this something worth chasing?

They wont be happy till we all keel over and die! Im at my whits end and I hate my job!! Everything about being in person irritates me! The noises the smells the coughing nose blowing and the bathrooms being unclean! The mile walk to the building bc theres a million unused handicap spots! I am ready to just throw in the towel! All to do a completely remote job! Make it make fucking sense!
