Leave of Absence
Figured I would start here, has anyone or know of anyone taken a leave of absence unpaid from their work? E.g. Take extended time off to rest unpaid or take time away to recover from physically illness (not sure if you need doctors note for this as you are taking unpaid time off??). Also legally I read online, your job is still protected?
I have worked a whole year straight without taking a single day off and literally feel burnt out and the work at my current job is very demanding now and stressful. Sure I can take some vacation days, but there's no fucking way I would be able to enjoy those 2 weeks of rest without not touching the work as I'm literally the only person doing the work.
Have not seen family much that's living on the other side of the world, along with this unknown lump mass on my neck that the doctors have not been able to determine cause/what it is. A lot of things stacked up and definitely putting a lot of strain mentally/physically over time now. I just want a long break from not working at a job (just a couple months).
