Any body have to take a month off work to go to rehab then return? With a threat that most likely your current account will be handled by someone else and suffering lack of confidence maybe even fired

OP - how are you? Any updates?

I did this two years ago at a previous agency (2 months off, followed by a year of flexible working to attend therapy sessions) and it was worth it. It sounds like a very long time, but it's nothing. It might stall your career for a tiny bit, but you'll feel like you've made tremendous progress in life in general which is harder and more important. Yes, when I got back I felt the sting of being passed for promotion but managed to get a better job elsewhere anyway.

Unless they ready know, they are not allowed to ask what your medical leave is for. I took off a month many years ago and did not disclose it was for treatment. When I returned to work it took me a month to really get back in the swing of things.

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”. Now I’m having anxiety searching for a job. I don’t think I want to sell anymore yet every single recruiter I interview with says I should, that I have a “salesperson mentality”. I’m burnt out. Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?
