The only thing that motivates me to work, get out of bed, or eat is the hope of receiving a layoff meeting invite. This is what I get for being too cowardly to just resign. You win, D.

100% This was me 3 years ago. I didn't resign even though I wanted to. Waited for them to let me go. Don't resign. Take the severance and then find something better.

Will taking a few weeks of medical leave negatively affect my performance review? I have a medical condition that requires about 2-3 weeks of treatment. I can get a doctor’s note but I have a strong feeling that my boss wouldn’t be happy if I take a few weeks off now because everyone is so busy right now. When I brought it up last time, my boss said something that implied I was opting out of the team’s busy work. My symptoms are getting worse but should I just tough it out and wait?
