Why not take medical leave - FMLA - while still at the firm you are with. Instead of quitting now, it will give you time to reassess, get level, still have insurance...and once you are feeling yourself again you can make the decisions that is right for you.
Never recommend making life changing decisions when you are feeling this way. Take care of yourself first. Get level - then you can make the right decisions for you with a clear mind.
Best of luck to you OP. Hang in there and here is the phrase I live by... "This too shall pass"
I haven’t been here for a year yet...it’s my understanding that it’s a one year requirement to be eligible for FMLA?
Couldn’t you just later say “I needed to take some time off due to a medical reason” without going into the specifics. It’s none of their business and it’s inconceivable people will hold it against you.
Would suggest jumping before being fired, since that will show up during the email/call to your previous employer during background.
Also, tbh, you gotta take care of #1. You're a small cog in the machine. You'll be replaced in a heartbeat. But you cant replace your time, happiness, and sanity.
Do it. Do it ASAP. You don’t owe anyone anything. Work on yourself and do what’s best for you. When you’re ready to go back to work just say, “I took some time off to deal with some life matters.” No one needs to know. That could mean family or any other things. Sending hugs OP. You got this. You’re doing great
I can relate, number one priority is to take care do yourself, TODAY. Tomorrow and the weeks that follow have answers but you won’t see them if you’re in a nose dive. If you’re considering harm to yourself, engaging in this discussion right now won’t be helpful. Prioritize what’s best for you, find safety and have some honest conversations with someone you trust and a professional.
More practically, this situation has many layers of context needed. What’s your financial situation and how much dwell time can you float/how much time are you thinking you need to reset. I did this and my resume reflected a few months of that but I always explained that with the truth. “I wanted to change careers and I wanted to take a break. I traveled with my family and I invested time in finding the right next step for my career.” If it’s on purpose, it makes sense and communicates a lot about yourself that would also make you a good teammate. The self- awareness alone to say, I’m not ok, I need to be intentional about getting better even at the expense of my career, will be something you pass on to others one day If a future employer doesn’t see the wisdom and value in that, you don’t want to work for them anyway.
I feel for you, this is brutal, but take courage! ^this too shall pass, so true. The hard part is doing something meaningful about it when you’re at your lowest. And remembering that you are not defined by your failures but by what it takes for you to quit. Keep going, never give up!! Sending love and support and prayer your way
Reassess my life and career but ultimately worried about reentering the workforce once I am and better...(and losing insurance). How difficult is it to explain a gap without openly acknowledging the true reason you left.
Also, no longer with deloitte. This has been happening for a couple years now and I left thinking a smaller firm would be better but it’s overall the industry that is a main contributor. I would not return to consulting if I take the gap.
This is easy. Say you left to pursue independent consulting (they’re called “1099” jobs in the US because of the tax form that you file).
I’ve done this, as has several of my friends. Best of luck with your recovery .
That would be the plan, yes, and I know legally they can’t ask for more but I’m interested to see if others have or have known people in these situations and if it still proved to be difficult with that gap in there.
Look into your company’s COBRA policy. They should give you the option to continue insurance coverage after you leave the firm, but it might only for a few months and it’s typically more expensive. I hope you take the time to take care of yourself! Best wishes
Did the exact same thing, feel free to DM me.
You can go on short term disability with your current firm and get paid and keep insurance even though you've been there less than a year. You just have a doctor write a letter and apply to short term disability. Then if needed you can go on long term disability.
