I was on a (scheduled/approved) vacation, which was unfortunately followed by a significant family emergency that required me to extend the leave. I communicated about it as and when it was happening and my company was understanding. Now that I'm back, I'm not being added to any of the new project emails. I find this very confusing ... is this because I was unavailable for a while or is this how they slowly let you go?

I haven't asked as of yet but I never needed to. I was always part of these emails along with the rest of my colleagues. I'm going to wait this one out and see what happens with the next one. If it's the same situation, I'll definitely ask.

I would be proactive and actively let them know you’re free for work, and do it all over email to document that you’re asking for work.
