Using multiple Github accounts with SSH keys
I have recently been given access to a Github repository that I'll call work for this question, access to this repository has been given to my via SSH keys.
I use SSH keys for my account (that I'll call me) which hasn't given me a problem and continues to act normally for any repository that is under this account.
I have my config file set up like this
Host me.github.com
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/me
Host work.github.com
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/work
When I try to use ssh-add -l both keys show up, and both accounts have the correct public key added to them.
Sending the command ssh -T git@github.com returns Hi me! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access., although if I send the command ssh -T git@work.github.com it responds in the correct way.
Both origins for fetch and push are set to the ssh link as verified by git remote -v
I have tried following this gist, this Medium article, and this StackOverflow question, along with a few others with no success.
I should probably also include that I'm running on Windows 10 LTSB build 14393, Powershell 5.1, git version 2.19.1.windows.1, and posh-git 0.7.3.1 installed through Chocolatey.

First, check your two SSH keys with:
ssh -Tv me.github.com
ssh -Tv work.github.com
Second, you can add for testing in a repo both URLs:
git remote set-url origin me.github.com:<auser>/<arepo>
git remote origin originWork work.github.com:<auser>/<arepo>
(no need for git@ in the URL)
From there, you can use one or the other origin to pull/push.
