Dear President Armida Ornelas and VPAS Robert Parker,
We, the undersigned, respectfully ask that you grant Richard Lam's request to work remotely as Department Secretary on a part-time basis. Richard has diligently served LAMC since 2016 and is widely recognized by his peers and colleagues for being one of the most effective Department Secretaries on staff. We would much rather see Richard return to work in a remote, part-time capacity than hire and train a substitute to replace him. Richard feels healthy enough to return on a remote, part-time basis, and his physician supports his request. We hope the Administration agrees as well. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
LAMC Faculty and Classified Staff

The feedback from colleagues has reinforced how vital Richard is to our daily operations and the institutional memory he provides. I have been in communication with the administration to ensure they understand that retaining his experience is the most practical path forward for the college.

It would help all the secretaries so much if he can work remotely. He can do the faculty grids remotely as well other assignments that are time consuming.
Employee productivity is not measured by the location where they do their work. He has clearly documented his illness that was pre-covid. I support this hard-working employee to be granted the accommodation he needs to continue his employment. Prof Levy
Mr. Lam is a valued member of the LAMC community, who fell ill through no fault of his own. If our community shares the common value of compassion, management should consider an allowance for an alternative work agreement, so long as he can perform his duties.
Although I am not in Richard's department he has been very helpful anytime I have made inquires. He never hesitated to assist. Richard's request should be granted.
As Richard’s supervising department chair from when he was hired in 2016 until we all went remote in March 2020, I can attest to his flawless work output and his professionalism with colleagues, administrators, students, and faculty. If his medical team supports this, we should support Richard.
I sign this now to help him and his family.
Please let me to come back to work.

Bringing back Richrard is not a work load issue it is a team moral one. Richard Is an amazing employee and what is the point of utilizing virtual platforms for meetings but not allowing the same platforms to facilitate work of a valuable member of the Mission Familiy.
