Reddit Hilariously Defends Allergic Girl From Her Mean Boss And Some Poor Office Puppies
The past few years of transitioning from full-time office work, to working from home, to going back to the office, to being offered to continue working from home, etcetera etcetera etcetera– has been exhausting, don't you agree? It's hard enough as it is motivating ourselves to contribute to capitalism on a daily basis, let alone trying to enjoy the process, so we weren't surprised to see a post on Reddit's Am I The Asshole sub this week where a woman is totally fed up with her working environment.
Apparently, this woman's whole life has been marred by one, major, major tragedy: she's allergic to dogs. How sad is that? She likes dogs too, just gets migraines when she's around them, so up until recently, this was just a personal struggle that she had to accept. Now, however, her office is bringing everyone back in, and some of the employees who came back earlier had started bringing their dogs with them. With her allergies, it's become impossible for her to work in her own office, and the accommodations her boss has been willing to offer have been much less than acceptable. So, she turned to Reddit for some perspective and advice on the situation, and you're not going to believe what happened next.
Everyone knows that most Redditors are virulent animal lovers. If you post about not liking an animal, you're automatically villainized. But someone, this girl brought out everyone's better sensibilities. They listened, offered suggestions to rectify her situation, and left us feeling so wholesome, we just had to share!

A Little Background
It seems that this happened to a lot of people over the past few years. Previous methods of working were tossed out to accommodate a new order of business, but not many offices stopped to consider what this new order would look like, or how it would affect their employees. It's something we're all supposed to be navigating together, but it just doesn't seem like this woman's office is very committed to helping her figure it out.

Now That's Just Rude
This is where this story takes a turn. Originally, this was a rational complaint that the boss should've handled. But, then he decided to single her out, and try to make her the only one to work from home. She fires back with a rational response– give me proper accommodation– and is denied. So, what's she to do? Her boss isn't on her side, and neither are her coworkers. Seems like a pretty toxic work environment, to be honest.
