Tanya can't understand why her coworkers are able to set their own schedules but her illness can't be accommodated.

Transcript

There’s plenty of other people, like of my coworkers, that have always had the ability to basically set their own schedule, and only work a couple of days a week, and so on and so forth. Like, just basically based around their family and their social life, and what they wanted to do. And then I felt like when I was asking for accommodations, based on my health, not just based on the fact that I wanted to go to the park that day instead of work, that it was suddenly like a really big problem. And, you know, I was told that it was very difficult to work around these things, and I’m thinking, well, you’ve been doing it for years for my coworkers, so what’s different with me now? Other than the fact that I’m sick and I actually do need to take this time off to try and get better.
