Yeah OP that's fraud.

Depends if his project is causing him so much stress and anxiety he has a hard time working. Then it's not fraud. Projects can fo that to people. I've had to do it because the project gave me extreme anxiety and my doctor put me on anti anxiety meds and I took a month or two off. Not a big deal to do this. It's important to stay healthy. I returned and did amazing on my next project.

Read my post above OP. Take your short term disability medical leave. You've put up with a lot of abuse and you deserve to get paid.

Well you have to have a medical issue to take medical leave

Any tips? Dealing with resourcing issues for one of our largest clients. We have enough hours, just waiting for more experienced team members to be hired to complete it. We’ve reprioritized work so many times to get what we can done with the team we have, but still have important items waiting to be completed with more Sr. Folks. We’ve also borrowed from other teams, but it doesn’t cover up the fact we could be getting the work done faster with the right team. Advice for dealing with the client?
