I mean you have to have a real medical condition - physical or mental to qualify for short term disability. If you do, how you use that time is your decision.

I don’t see why it would be a problem. If you’re trying to get disability benefits you just need a doctor to fill out the forms

OK; the other option is unpaid leave.

Ok I guess I’m confused. Do you have an applicable health condition that would warrant short term disability? Or were you just going to try to get a doctor to sign off on disability leave so you could find a new job?

There's two parts to this.
1) Regardless of leave type can you look for alternate employment? Answer is yes, you're an adult you can look whenever you want.
2) Can you take disability leave? Answer is you need to decide.

Obviously this will put some stress of my substitute, and potentially mess up my post-holiday lesson plans, but I'm so exhausted and haven't used any other PTO this year. Would you do it, or no?

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
