McKinsey & Company I have had enough and have been thinking of taking a mental health leave. Would someone know how many weeks can I take and will it be unpaid? Alternatively, can I use short term disability (STD)?
I will use this time to think about whether I want to come back to the firm or declare search. Will this mental health leave/ STD be reduced from my search time? Would appreciate some input. McKinsey & Company

This was a not uncommon thing back like 2022 when everyone was very burned out. Use all sick time, pto, beach, and up to STD, but i think they got more stringent on that. Like anything, the firm reacts when the minions begin to Crack and leave en masse

Go for FMLA, it will be 12 weeks unpaid

In most companies, they run concurrently. FMLA is meant to protect your job. STD protects your income (to a certain percentage). You have to get the reason for your absence certified by a doctor and approved by your company’s STD administrator (most larger companies use a 3rd party for this).

like

You can have a doctor say you need time off ( through official documentation). You will get either 4 or 8 weeks full pay and then 2/3 pay.

Check hR policies for exact amount of full pay time. I needed the time off when a parent passed way and Cognizant was VERY accommodating

I’m having trouble working in Tax. I’m overwhelmed and am feeling like I’m not producing my best work. I want to talk to someone at work about it but a) I don’t know who to go to and b) feel like it’s not worth it because there’s nothing that anyone can do but tell me to get a different job. I feel like I SHOULD say something to someone though, right? Idk. I’ve been on the job hunt for a while now and am not really having any luck, which is just adding to my despair. What should I do?
