My Business Director calls in sick every time the account gets busy and never hands anything over properly or completes any work on the days leading up to when they call in sick. This leaves double the amount of work in the final few days before the deadline - every single time there is a lot on. We’re all so worried how we’re going to get the work done this time and it’s something they do every month without fail do you think I can speak up and say something?

It’s so so bad and extremely unhealthy doubling the teams workload when you’re on £60k + instead of asking for help. I’m sure the team would have been happy to help out. But working 70 hours plus in three days because you’re realising nothings been done from the week before and managing client expectations. Even the client has caught on to this behaviour.

I’m a newly graduate from a community college. My program of study was Health Information Technician.

I’ve applied for receptionist, medical biller/coordinator, and medical clerk. Even with inflation willing to work for minimum wage or less just to gain experience.

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
