You are in charge of an office/department/business. One employee, Person A, has issues and cannot go anywhere without an Emotional Support Dog. Another employee, Person B, has issues and is deathly afraid of dogs. How do you resolve this?
- Ban the dog. Person A will have to learn to function at work without it.
- Allow the dog. Person B will have to learn to function at work in the presence of the dog.
- Let Person A go, since they cannot function in a normal work environment.
- Let Person B go, because they don’t like dogs, and that’s not normal!.
- Allow Person A and Person B “work things out themselves”, which of course will mean that Person A will keep bringing the dog to work and Person B will have to live with it or quit.
- Some kind of plan to accommodate both workers, such as Person A works on even days and Person B works on odd days.

You are still in charge of an office/department/business, but with different employees.
Person C is someone who feeds off energy, and thus needs lots of noise to work: they play loud metal or rap music, but would be OK with any kind of loud energetic music like Opera or Marching Band or whatever. Person D needs to concentrate and think and wants peace and quiet. How do you resolve this?
- Ban loud music. Person C will have to get non-leaky headphones or something.
- Allow loud music. Person D will have to get high-level earplugs or something.
- Give Person C a sound-proof office.
- Give Person D a sound-proof office.
- Allow Person C and Person D to “work things out themselves”, which of course will mean that Person C will keep playing loud music and Person D will have to live with it or quit.
- Some kind of plan to accommodate both workers such as music in the mornings, quiet in the afternoons.

NOTE - I considered and deliberately left out an option for Firearms or other “Defensive” Equipment, as it would generate (rightly) too much controversy. Feel free to make your own poll/thread about that if you wish.
