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

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.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a contract TAS for 6 months in a medical device company. I started part time and as it became busier/my trainer quit, I became full-time. I applied for the TA position through corporate and would like some insight. the company is short staffed and my site specifically does not have good TA retention. For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?
