Anyone taken medical leave for themselves? Is it difficult working with HR for approval/paperwork? My body's falling apart, can barely get through the day with a ton of pills 😞

Yep and nope, call them they will walk you through the process. Tell you what you need from the doctor, your doctors office will do whatever they need to. Pretty straight forward, and one of the wonders off working somewhere that has an HR department

It isn't like taking a sick day. Are you looking to take an unpaid LOA to recoup/relax or are you looking to go for STD which has all kinds of hoops.

Yes, for surgeries in my case. National Leave Center is the best place to start. But that's for short term disability where a doc provides paperwork stating you cannot return to work until xyz date. They can also help if you need an accommodation. For example, I couldn't fly for medical reasons for a few weeks. They helped with that too. I've been very impressed with how well the firm manages this. Also read up on the policies on kcurve.

I'm a US citizen living abroad I applied almost 11 months ago for my spouse. Married for years, kid. I wait and wait. It seems this will take 2 years, maybe more. I feel trapped. On one side the US system demands I work and domicile in US, the other side says families should be prioritized to stay together. My spouse has had enough of the process. I feel trapped abroad and locked in a dysfunctional system. We're just in limbo, it's depressing

I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.
