Should I ask for job modification? Hey everyone! I’m a nurse and a person who stutters. I just got a job offer for a clinic role. The office gets phone calls throughout the day (not a ton but not none either). All the nurses pitch in answering and returning phone calls. The job also requires calling a few patients a day to follow up on results. Speaking on the phone - especially in front of others - is extremely stressful for me. Do y’all think I can ask for a job modification like not being the one to answer the phone and/or making calls in a private room?
