Employment rights
After surgeries, I experience numbness, swelling, weakness, or tingling in the arm and shoulder area on the same side of the body on which surgery was done. I have difficult to drive long hours, heavy lifting, etc. I’m a programmer, I return to work after the short term disability and my manger was fully support me. However my company is restructure recently and my new boss asked me to relocate. It is about 15 minutes’ drive from my current location and it will be 3 hours’ drive from my new location. I expressed there was a medical situation preventing me from driving to new location. I already provided the doctor note, however my boss keeps coming back to me and asked me to provide additional information. I feel this is about my privacy and also feel nervous by the questioning. I’m really appreciated if you could provide your advice. I want to understand my employment rights, how much information to provide, what information that I don’t need to provide. How to prevent my boss keep bother me?

hi Gizmochan
hello , not sure how big the company is that you work for..but all that information should be handled by your HR /employee Advocacy department..sounds like he maybe asking too many questions ..but if its a small company that could be reason..but as Elaine said know your rights and contact local social services
good luck with everything!

almost 10 yeears ago i was treated terrible during my treatments. I wish i had someont to help me -in hind sight-I was told I couldn't take an earlyl lunch 10:30 for my treatments and use my sick time. (IT would have wiped out every tday) THe form my Dr has to fill out for my job was so personal-every single detail.

at one point my not so nice
at one point my not so nice boss (post treatment) would say HOW are you? YOU have medical issues. I told him i did not like talking aboauta things-he said I have a right to ask how you are and NOT A NICE person, so it was not sincere for sure.
3 x in one conversation-he said so you doing OK? (I made the mistake once saying to him-I WILL NEVER miss an ocologist appt. (since he would give me a hard time taking days off for dr. (WE MUST take half day evne if less then an hour)
So over the years -no a single caring boss.
Happy to say that was 8-10 yrs...and now i have a new sweet boss.
