If my medical treatment is ongoing do I still need to provide a return date for work?

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?

Off work for 4 weeks, I want to watch a movie every day, looking for suggestions

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 🤣

Looking for movies like 'Horse Girl' 2020.

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!

Would it be selfish for me to extend my mental health leave?

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.

Unfair probation extension, can I fight this?

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.

Having to go on immediate sick leave (for mental health reasons)

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.

Can a walk in clinic approve me for my sick (mental health/stress) leave?

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?

Going on medical leave super short notice.

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.

New manager has come in and pissed everyone off... I'm on the verge of quitting a job I really loved

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?

Manager has only been here for 2 days and is doing my probationary review and giving me a poor one..

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...

AITAH for wanting to spend the day with my mom instead of my mother in law?

Stayed up til 3AM making my hubby's family a brisket for his mother's Day lunch, my mom works til 6 today but I still want to do something nice for her, I won't really be able to unless I cancel on this dinner and tell hubby I'm staying home.

My mom's very picky, the only thing she wants is roasted potatoes for dinner tonight, if I do this dinner I won't have the time to make them for her.

I can't get a super important day off because "managers can't work alone" but I've worked alone open-close...

I'm an assistant manager for a very small retail store at a resort. My husband goes for back surgery on June 3rd, so I asked to have the 3rd-6th off to be there for him during the beginning of his recovery, turns out 4 of us (literally all the staff) all want the same day off for different reasons. The big boss said "one of you needs to volunteer to either open or close that day because the manager can't be left alone the whole day"

Meanwhile here I am, literally being left alone for the whole day because one girl who only works once a week called in sick, and the other girl has to leave right as my shift starts. This is also during one of our busy days... I'm so frustrated 😭.

Finally got my SAP coverup, super happy with it. Adding color eventually.

4 hours, I was going to add color to cover the rest of the shitty flower underneath but I had a dinner to get to. To be continued, I'm happy for now though! Can finally wear shorts again for the first time in 2 years🥳

I'm really stressed out about how I'm going to go about telling my boss I have absolutely non negotiation-able time off, a week to be specific.

My husband is getting back surgery and I'm not going to just go to work for a week 3 hours away knowing he's sitting at the hospital by himself. I can't do that and I'm refusing to do that.

I'm an assistant manager and she's already given me the "this job is your number 1 priority over everything else in your life" talk...

I'm an assistant manager of a teeny tiny clothing store at a ski resort and I feel so damn stuck. I get paid really well but this isn't a passion for me, I dread going into work most days😮‍💨. The only thing keeping me is the pay.

My husband is getting back surgery sometime soon, the date is unconfirmed as of right now. He's going to need me for at least the first 2-3 weeks of his recovery, possibly the whole month but I'm wondering if my job can fire me for this, and if there's a way I can still get some sort of pay since a month is a long time with no paycheck.

Thanks in advance!
