I’m having severe burnout at work, management is breathing down our necks and I pick up the slack for many of my peers without complaint. But lately my mental and physical health is taking a toll due to the environment that I work in and I’m torn if I should hold on a little longer or quit and try to get a new job after unemployment. I don’t feel seen or appreciated even though I’m the longest original tech that they had. I’m pretty much up to here in depression of working at that job.

In most cases, if you quit your job, you’re not gonna be entitled to unemployment. What kind of retaliation was there for taking FMLA? If it’s just a feeling you have that would be tough to prove so whatever it is you have to make sure it truly was retaliation and you can prove it. Then usually mediation comes into play. I wouldn’t count on getting unemployment and even if you can get it if they fight it it’ll be a while before you can collect. Just be prepared for that. I would start with going to your HR department despite what people say. They try to be a liaison between the company and the employees. They don’t wanna lose you and if you’re in the right, they will stick up for you

I already went to HR about the FMLA and my managers got reprimanded for it. I’m focusing on getting a new position as soon as possible. I have a couple months of rent saved so if it gets too much I will just leave

I'm sorry your job is making you feel depressed. That's an awful feeling. What would happen if you started letting go of some of the slack while you look for another job? It seems like you're putting so much pressure on yourself.

That’s a really tough position to be in and I think it is wise to start exploring other options. It’s never a bad thing to start looking for a new job. While doing so, start to take a step back from picking up the slack for your coworkers and discuss some of the issues with management.

Management is retaliating against me for taking my FMLA

I’m a CM and would love to understand what you need from your manager to correct the problem. I’m sorry if it’s too late in your current situation, and I’m
Sorry you feel that way. But what is it exactly that how you feeling the way you feel and what would you like to see? Have changed to keep you from feeling the way you feel ?

You are going to get this wherever you go now a days in the medical field. Weigh you options carefully before you leap. The grass is not always greener on the other side. If you are having mental stress take few weeks or month off medical leave of absence. This is work causing you the stress. Just saying. Try Yoga or meditation. Find a place at work you can take a break and go yell cry just release the pressure. Good luck whatever you decide.

In a similar situation, I yolo'd into a startup.

What state are you in? Can you take FMLA for a while for your mental health? If not, and it doesn’t seem things will change, may be best to look for different job.

Don't sacrifice your wellbeing for work, because your coworkers won't sacrifice theirs for you
