Want to quit this job and go back home for grandma with stage IV cancer for the last bit of her life. But this is the equivalent of giving up my visa, status and life in US. I'm so sad 😭

^ thank you. I'm thinking that, but I honestly don't know how long she has and really just want to be there until her last moments without having to worry about leaving prematurely. I don't think I can take an open ended vacation request at my level (senior)?

I can only imagine how difficult this must be. I'd like to think your firm will work with you on this, you can always find work in accounting but won't always have this final window of time with family.

Can you talk to your counselor? They might know what your options are. I don't think you'll be able to get an open ended vacation, but hopefully you'll be able to get something.

Sorry for your loss.

OP...you can be out of country for 4 months. So byou can either take extend vacation or transfer for 3 months to your home country.

Yes OP. Talk to your counselor. Same thing happened to my family and I had to go back to my home country in Asia. That was when I just joined the firm. I was able to take a leave of absent for 3 months. Hope things go well for you. Definitely talk to your counselor or people consultant

Listen OP, I had to stay here for visa issues and lost my gran, uncle and aunt in space of 2 years. Go home and take a leave of absence. Your family needs you.

You definitely can. My grandma was in the hospital for over a month and I stayed home for 2 weeks. I just communicated to my manager that I wasn't going to take a leave of absence until I felt it was necessary, so I worked from home and visited my grandma until I felt comfortable going back to my office. Everyone was very understanding. If you wanted to use PTO and didn't have enough, there is something where HR will send out an email to the offices saying a co-worker is in a need a PTO donations for personal reasons (keeping you anonymous) and many people will donate so you wouldn't need to take a leave of absence.

Go spend time with your family! You won't get this time back with them, so figure out a way. Most people in this industry will find a way to make it happen because they know this is important. I'm doing the same. Leaving to spend time with my Dad as he is in hospice and has weeks left - team said go be with him, they will figure it out - no one dies if our work spent get done
