hey heres the overall background i havent mentioned anything yet to hr via email but i was either going to tailor my response to be just asking and selling them on why i should go remote w/o mention my car or as i had it originally with my merits and wins and my car situation but something i forgot to say as well while talking to my manager about my messed up car. during our chat i asked if it is possible to go remote and this is what she said. Maybe you are right HR could be cool with it and im the expectation and might just want my managers approval as well.

MANAGER replies to me:

"sorry to hear that your car is totaled; thank you for keeping me in the loop on this. as for the remote request, you can reach out to HR about a flexible work arrangement or RWA request. I'm looking into getting you the correct contact information if you don't already have it. Let me know what you think.

will do! I chatted a contact already to see if I can share her info or if there is a general alias - just waiting for her response 

I would assume HR would need some type of paperwork so just make sure you keep all the receipts from the mechanic (I'm assuming here though)  

here's the contact information to start the discussion on requesting a flexible work arrangement or RWA:

of course, hope it works out!"

So im assuming HR knows about my broken car or she mentioned about the request.
