I saw a statistic that 318k black women have “left” the workforce in the last 3 months. I am currently on leave waiting on short term disability to be approved. My doctor will back me up and take me off for long term disability as well.

There is a part of me that feels like I should just take the money and run rather than risk going back to work. For context, several people were terminated before I went on leave…., and although I technically shouldn’t be concerned, you never know. Thoughts?

I was let go while on FMLA lol so there are really no guarantees either way. Take your time off and if you decide it’s not best for you don’t go back

Follow your instincts. I was let go while on vacation and my PM saying what great work I did my last day in the office

Out on FMLA now. Not planning on going back. Only reason I stay on payroll is because my health issues already met the deductible for the insurance so I'm getting my money's worth. I have enough savings, and disability to use. In addition to my critical care illness policy. I have income to keep me afloat.

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

My school deliberately cut the number of classes that the specials teachers teach so that we could be building subs for quarantined and sick teachers (we are hybrid). So... I teach fewer classes (which is a relief because specials teachers teach way more classes than core teachers normally) but I'm pulled for most of my planning periods to babysit classes. I need my planning periods so I can redo my ENTIRE curriculum... and I just feel unappreciated, used, and nothing more than a babysitter.
