If you’re on Family Medical Leave, which usually runs concurrently with short-term disability,at least in NY, they can’t fire you. And you should not be looking for a job while on medical leave. You should be focused on getting better. I’m not sure how you would resign if you tried to quit while on medical leave. I would wait until you go back and see what happens

They can’t fire you - it’s discrimination, but they can give you a different job when you return. That can be a good thing! Was for me after my LOA

Take a deep breath, this is a normal concern for anyone that’s ever been on leave. It doesn’t happen as much as we think it does to be moved off the job and even more remotely fired. Get better and if it bothers you then casually look around.
