Risk a Remote Duty Station Change?
I realize I probably won't like the answer to this but I have to ask: I was hired as a 100% remote worker. I am more than 50 miles away from any agency office. When the sh** hit the fan I applied for reasonable accommodation to remain 100% remote (which, due to health conditions, I really do need) and it was granted. This was while we still actually had a functioning EEO office with agency employees making the decisions. (I cannot resist saying that forcing people specifically hired into remote positions to go into an office is the most outrageous breach of union rules around change of working conditions but I digress…). I want to move to an area that Is A. within 50 miles of a regional office and B. a higher cost of living. Do I have a snowballs chance in he** of getting this approved without triggering a re-evaluation of my reasonable accommodation (by people above my agency) and then being forced to go in because I'm within 50 miles of a regional office? (Even though it would probably take me at least an hour and a half each way from where I would live to get to that office.). Has anyone else been successful in relocating under this scenario? is it under any circumstance worth the risk? does the answer about the likelihood of losing RA change if I relocated to a higher cost of living area that is more than 50 miles away from the regional office?I have already passed up applying for a promotion that I was very well qualified for and probably would've gotten because I was told that of course the new position would not be hired remote and my reasonable accommodation request would have to be re-adjudicated by people above my agency level, (who likely are intensely incentivized to not grant any reasonable accommodations.)and I do realize how extremely lucky I am to be 100% remote under the current circumstances so hopefully I won't won't stir up resentment with this question.
