I am so grateful for the home I have, the safety it provides me and the comfort it gives me

My husband just got back surgery, he's been in the hospital for 5 days now and got approved to be released today. I don't drive and the hospital is 2 hours away so I made sure to tell my MIL both in person and over text "please let me know when you go to see him next, I want to be there". Today I woke up around 10 and got a message from her saying that they're already on the way to pick him up.. she apologized multiple times but said that she "didn't think to call me", even though I told her to because we really miss each other and I really wanted to see him.

I'm just so angry right now, I feel like maybe I'm overthinking but it feels like she did this on purpose. Why not give me any sort of proper notice, he voiced that he wanted me there too and I could've been ready in 20 mins.

Day 1 of gratitude practice:

Being able to take time away has really helped me grasp the good things I have in my life. So happy to be here and to be living my life.

I took it about 7 hours ago and I can't remember myself ever being this calm and chill (without the help of weed) EVER. For the first time in a long time my thoughts felt organized, I enjoyed a day in my backyard in nature, I legitimately enjoyed today and I'm so happy!

Is this normal? Can it really kick in that quickly?

HR is requesting a return to work date but my doctor didn't provide me with an actual day, just a 4 week approved leave and a plan of action which includes counseling and medication. Do I need to provide HR with a new note if the one I sent clearly states treatment is ongoing?

Looking for weird/surreal horror or thriller movies. Im open to watch just about everything but the weirder the better lol. I've seen quite a few but for some reason I really enjoy the stalker troupe type movies or the really weird uncomfortable Yorgos Lanthimos type of horror.

Tonights movie is 'Willard' 2002 which is right up my alley 🤣

Ive watched this movie a couple times now and I just loved how bizarre and uncomfortable it was at some points.

I'd love some recommendations of other movies like this!

I've been really suffering mentally from burn out and depression and was approved for a week off but I feel like a week isn't enough.. I'm unable to see my actual family doctor until June 23rd and I was hoping to be approved until then so I could be cleared by someone who knows me better but I don't know how to explain this to the walk in clinic doctor.

I have been the assistant manager for this retail store for 3 months now. No one ever complained about my work, the VP for us came in and told me I was doing a great job, I've never been written up, never broken any rules.

And then 2 days into the new manager literally still training with us she's allowed to give me my probation review and says she's going to extend it for ridiculous reasons like "your customer service isn't up to my par" BUT IT WAS UP TO THE COMPANY'S PAR?.

And now I'm on sick leave for my mental health thanks to the toll this job took on my mental health and I am without any benefits because my probation was extended two days before it was actually supposed to end.

Can I fight this? Is it even worth it to do so? I'm so angry right now. I don't even know who to contact right now.

Without getting into too much personal detail. I am completely burnt out and at this point I am not sleeping at all (on night 2, no sleep) due to my mental health declining.

Yesterday at work was a breaking point for me and I decided I needed to take a step back from my job. So I immediately reached out to HR and my manager (I'm the assistant manager) and let them know I'm able to provide anything they may need from me but that I need to go on leave. I feel so bad but I just know this is what I need right now. I haven't heard back from them at all.

Has anyone on here had to go on immediate sick leave for this same reason? My doctor is booked all the way until June 23rd so I have to go to a walk in clinic to see if they can help me out.

I just called my family doctor to see about getting in ASAP and the next available appointment is June 23rd. I am at a bit of a breaking point with work, completely burnt out and I need this time away immediately as I'm not sleeping at this point and it's not affecting my mental health severely. I'm going to a walk in clinic tomorrow to see someone but I'm wondering if they could sign off on it for me since my doctors not available to do so?

I am at a snapping point mentally and I am completely burned out from work and I feel I need to take a break from the company.

I just reached out to HR to let her know that this will be effective as of tomorrow until my doctor clears me to come back but can I still get fired for informing her of this?

I stated in the email that I don't want to leave my position completely as I do enjoy working for the company but I do need a break or I fear I will actually end up leaving.

Only 2 days in and the new manager has pissed both me (the assistant manager) and the team lead off. I've been here for 3 months and I do really like my job, it's retail, it's my first management position and the pay is great, I'm finally at a point where I have my life together.

And then of course this new manager has ruined all of that. It's only day 2 and she's given me my performance review only 2 days after working with me. I would've much rather had my team lead who has been there with me since day 1 do this review since she's seen how I work one on one. She's also told me I'm not doing my job "to her standards" which she didn't even set those standards with me to begin with.

She pretty much just came in and told me I'm doing a bad job, even though the VP was in a week ago and said she really enjoyed working with me and said she was happy to have me on the team.

Im kind of at a loss here, I don't want to quit but I'm very close to doing so. Is this a farfetched thing to be upset about?

I'm an assistant manager and my store has been through 2 managers since I started only 3 months ago.

This new manager has been here for 2 days and she's been allowed to do my probation review. I don't understand how this is ok? She doesn't know me and doesn't know my work ethic. But apparently my "customer service" isn't up to her extreme standards of literally follow customers around the store and talking to them constantly when they're trying to show for their kids😭 and she pretty much gave me a terrible review off the hop too.

I am at a complete loss, I loved my job, I loved the people I worked with, I was dragged through the mud and now I've decided to quit two days into this new manager working there. I should've known this job would be a shitshow when the big boss gave me the "you need to prioritize this job over everything else in your life" talk...
