Have you tried looking for a better employer? The teams I've worked with wouldn't have had any problems accommodating you.


Do you have any particular reason to believe that? I've worked lots of places that looked very accommodating on the surface, but that doesn't mean they handle things like bi-polar well. In particular, "obvious" disabilities like a wheelchair seem to get handled a lot better. Conversely, policy exceptions like a bi-polar person needing to take more sick days, seem to breed a lot of resentment in certain sorts of managers.


Because I've been in management in my past few companies and work to accommodate everyone. I find that remote work is especially amenable to accommodating disabilities and mental health.


Given I can’t manage a 40-hour work week to start with, looking for a job while I have a job isn’t doable.

That said, I’m available if someone wants a senior rails dev. :)


I'll check my network and pass on your info if I hear of anything.
