Would you like to ask the lawyers a question? They're on site even as we speak. No client work is getting done today while we take care of internal policy. No kidding, if it weren't for you I never would've thought of how vulnerable we could be when/if we grow -- or of how something as simple as a c...

Yep, I had a device brought to my home. Over a year ago. You want a description? Came in a briefcase-sized kit. Little microphone taped to my chest, mask with hosey thing, recorder registering the level of my snores and my breaths or something. It was a pain in the ass. I never pursued it further an...

In answer to your questions: What's my AHI? I have no idea what you're talking about. Last physical, my doctor sent a barrage of people to my home with a device attached to a recorder that I had to attach to myself while I slept, and I was told "Wow." That's about as far as I'VE gone. When I get mor...

Man, no kidding. Why does everyone assume a workplace is a big conglomerate? FYI, the "human resources department" consists of a secretary filling out the forms, and our weekly meetings -- where EVERYONE gets a say in this sort of thing -- consist of the entire firm. Everybody fits in our room. The ...

Actually, Dave Hargett, the Chairman of the American Sleep Apnea Association, agrees that more than a day or two of time off shouldn't be necessary. I don't think we ARE legally required to give the time off. But we're giving it off... I'm just venting a little. And trying to understand... but I thi...

LOL! You have no idea.... when I was pregnant, not only did I work right until the day before I delivered, I spent 8 months making arrangements with my clients for the time away. Then I worked from home during my entire maternity leave, coming into the office or going to the client's office when tel...

I hope the two months she takes from work helps her. From every response I've read, it's either too long or not enough. I also hope that someday someone can say what the two months will actually do for her. I know what it will do for us. It will make us unable to hire a new employee because her job ...

And people wonder why there's so much outsourcing going on.

It's actually a woman, and I think she replied on another board. Here was her response: "I can't believe it I think I am the person the guest is talking about. I am currently on a 2 month leave of absence for severe sleep apnea. I have a very high stress job that has many deadlines, long days and tr...

No.... it's not me taking the time off. It's another individual at my job. I just cannot for the life of me imagine how it would help or why the firm should be granting this time off (it really puts us in a bind). I'm trying not to be heartless -- I know firsthand that sleep apnea is no fun with a c...

anyone?

Is there any reason why a person should take a couple of months off work (position held for their return) to treat sleep apnea? I know I have sleep apnea myself (no idea to what degree... I just know no human ... or cat... can sleep in the same room with me while I gasp and wheeze in my sleep), and ...
