Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 This is a little convoluted.... I work as a computer administrator and I'm the only person in my company who does my particular job. Every spring we go through a patching cycle where I'm required to work all night patching servers, then required to come in to work the next day. After two months of this 2 yrs ago, I developed RA. I'm pretty sure that my exhaustion was what triggered the RA, and now whenever I get extremely overtired I have bad flares. So it is almost time for our next cycle. I'm debating asking my boss if it would be ok for me to do the patching at night but not go in to work the next day. What I'm really nervous about is that they are in the process of trying to hire someone to work with me. But my company is constantly struggling and every year they have layoffs. If they have someone else working with me who learns how to do my job then I will be easily expendable in the next layoff, and I'm afraid that I will make myself a target if I create any waves with the work schedule. Hopefully if they do hire someone I won't be working every night as I have in the past, which may alleviate the flare up. I'm wondering whether any of you have told your management that you have RA or asked for any kind of accomodations, and what kinds of repercussions have happened as a result.
