Being honest about my mental struggle. Cost me my job. Well, she didn’t. I was in consistent contact with my HR, as one does in short term disability leave. My manager reached out once via email through the entire leave. It was a week before my return and they stated the wants to catch up. Our catch up was two day after my leave ended. I hopped on the call, saw another rep. And I was then terminated because my absence was a “hardship” on the team. I asked if I could be transfer, which was offered once prior to leave. They repeated themselves and let me go on the 29th. There were 30days that month, I emailed my hr rep whom I talked to about my return a week prior and asked about insury. “Oh that ends at the end of the month” I replied “tomorrow?”? They said yes. I had an in person doctor’s appointment on the 2nd. Had to cancel. Had to get off most my meds. Unemployment sided with CSC. I have had so much extra mental distress since. Words can’t explain, I lost everything because I needed that time and still do to better myself.
