Calling on managers out there to answer a question. If you had a 30 year employee with 3 years left to retire and they asked you to move them to a different office building and continue performing their duties there because they were suffering from mental anguish due to a toxic work environment, would or could you accommodate them or have them file formal grievance with HR to make that decision?

    At my company we cannot accommodate to this level of isolation due to our very own toxic work environment. This type of action would be considered support for the toxicity and without a robust investigation, this would not be seen as making any sense. We would then need to move others that requested any number of accommodation to avoid toxicity. My company doesn't view accommodation like this as helpful.

    A formal complaint would need to be filed and an investigation would be launched. Solutions or actions would then be found. An employees time left until retirement would not be considered.
