[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1059239, member: 88961"] I'm not an HR person, so my best opinion is just an opinion, based on some logic. My understanding is that although your employer must make reasonable adjustments to accommodate your diabetes, I would think if your request was the first signpost you're not happy, after a period of doing this, and apparently coping well with it, they'd be surprised and maybe less than chuffed about things. Whilst you have a certain amount of protection, you do still have to be able to do the material duties of your job. 30%'of your times seems material to me. Should that be the case rock and hard place could be a decent descriptor. If they did agree, if the other person in your role also undertakes 30% travel, would that mean they did 60%? Unless the other person is desperate to travel more (or don't like their wife!!), they would quite naturally want a hefty salary increase at least. In their shoes wouldn't you? Does that then make you unable to do the material duties of your job, and very expensive? That doesn't strike me as a great combo. I haven't worked for any US companies, but I don't belief they're known for being pink, fluffy and accommodating. I think they're better known for being driven, cut throat, with the potential to pay well to those who go the extra mile (pun intended). Good luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
