I did like this article a lot. I recently acquired asthma out of the blue and struggled a lot with asking people to accomodate. Need vs Request is especially hard. I’ve had breathing issues when we changed the office building but real estate said it’s too expensive to call in cleaners out of their usual once-a-year schedule, even when my manager chimed in. I was afraid to escalate past that because I didn’t want to be a hassle. As a result I had to suffer through it for 6 months before I changed teams and moved buildings. Looking back on it I should’ve made a statement and stuck with it because the 6 months of wheezing and subpar work because I was constantly suffering wasn’t worth it to me or my company.
