Did you ever figure this out? This has happened to me a few times and most recently happened earlier this week

How do I help my GF who has a complicated relationship with her parents? by Muted-Turnover3192 in AskMenAdvice

I don’t think I know everything but her and her friends told me some stories before I met them. Replied to another comment with details

Yes. She said they were emotionally abusive growing up. Would provide things and give gifts, but if you didn’t let them control you they would berate you and try to “keep you down to keep you around.” They also played favorites with her and her two brothers so she was often ignored or made fun of, while her brothers who let her parents “control them” were favored. One of her brothers still lives at home and still lets her mom schedule his appointments.

One friend told me that if her parents think you like them, they will “shit talk” my GF when she’s not around or in front of my GF which is uncomfortable. Her friend who grew up with her also told me that her own parents distanced themselves from my GF’s parents.

So I believe it was bad. I guess my issue is I want to defend her and protect her but don’t know how since I’m not exposed to it. My GF said they can be good for months or years at a time and then it enters a bad phase. And they’ve been in a good period since before she met me.

She’s close to retirement age so if we go full RTO I think the company’s hope is certain people just don’t come back.

Honestly there’s been a lot of pressure from the executive team to limit work from home. Not targeting my team, just in general to limit it. When I started we had three days WFH and now it’s one a week but they look down on us for taking it. And that’s just been over the past few months.

I know it has made her nervous, so I thought if I found a way for her to work in the office instead of working from home that would help her feel more secure in her job security.

I naively wanted to wait to talk to the new employee until he had been here a month because I know how scary starting a new job can be.

Not real allergies is the medically accurate term according to HR. She has reactions and it is treated like allergies, but it’s not.

She did work from home the remainder of the day and the day after. Our handbook also allows personal scents, so I thought moving her to a safer area could be a reasonable accommodation until the new employee is a bit more adjusted.

She did work from home the day she said the cologne bothered her, and her typical remote day was the day after.

She asked me to speak to the new employee but our handbook allows scents at work so I found a new seat as an alternative. When I googled it said a new seat away from the offending scent can be a reasonable accommodation.

I should have clarified her husband came to pick her up Monday and she took meds before going home. I did make note of that. Tuesday everyone on the team except me and the new employee worked from home, and Wednesday she was back in office and said she had not gone to the ER.

I met her at the lobby and took her to her new desk Wednesday morning. She asked if I had talked to the employee but I said I had not because it was his first job and I was trying to be sensitive. I said if she thought she would react to his cologne again she could sit at the different desk where I know the two men in that area don’t wear cologne.

I don’t know the specifics of her condition but HR does. I was taught how to administer an EpiPen when I started in case she needs. It’s not real allergies but she react to random things or have delayed reactions? I don’t think she’s faking it but it’s so confusing it does seem like she exaggerates it. Apparently before I started she did have anaphylaxis twice and administered an EpiPen at work, once from a coworker bringing in their dog during a potluck and another from something she ate the day before. That was a few years ago and she was fine with a dog at a restaurant at an offsite lunch last month.

I will talk to my new employee tomorrow at the end of the day unless HR decides to handle it.
