You won't be successful if you are not healthy. At this moment you should be focused on getting better. Consult your doctor and then the HR.
ignore others
I agree, but I can’t take STD if I’m going to be fired. I should’ve consulted with my doctor earlier - I started taking anti-depressants. And our HR is just one or two people right now
Tell him you’re having some health issues and would like some time off. Sounds like this is the best course for everyone. You’re not getting fired.
EY1: I will ask my boss tomorrow about a performance improvement plan option before leading into a discussion around taking leave. thank you
Could also take the conversation as an opportunity to discuss the state of your mental health and that you’re aware it’s having an impact on your work and you’d like to take some time to work on your health and come back to the firm with a fresh start.
Thank you for this idea.
Update: talked to my boss; told him I wanted to go on medical leave and that I had depression and wanted to wait it out until the holidays but, as he can see, my performance has been falling. He was supportive. Convo was brief and awk but I’m still relieved and sad overall.
At least you now have to the time to address your mental health as that is the most important thing right now. Good luck!
I’m sorry! Sending hugs and love. DM if you want someone to talk to. I’m a female 🐠 if that means anything
Thanks for the love <3
Let us know how it goes, OP. I hope it works out for you!
long-term success. What do I do?
Take the disability before they fire you. Figure it out while you’re away. Go! Now!
