Worked in and taught HR for years at a college... so, here's a thought.
I would talk to your doctor/therapist and have a note to give to Human Resources. Perhaps HR can have a joint meeting with you and your boss to explain that this is a medical condition that needs to be treated as such, i.e. with all the respect it is due under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Since it's an "extra" part of your job, you shouldn't need to do it. Not answering the phone is a reasonable accommodation under ADA. |
